The Nexus trilogy is some of the best sci-fi that has come out and I've read in recent years.

If you're a product manager (tech), or a stakeholder in the product management process, this is a must read book.

In some ways, this book feels more a lot more like a compilation of good ideas & productivity principles than a novel new way of doing things.

It feels sometimes as if you were reading the chapter about humans in Douglas Adams fictional “hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy” - I say this as a compliment.

The book proposes some very interesting ideas about decision making. The two that stuck with me the most: framing decisions as bets and measuring the quality of a decision separate than the quality of the outcome.

The only downside is that this book might fall into the bucket of books that could be summarized in a long podcast episode or a couple of blog posts.
