Here’s a list of all the books mentioned in this episode, complete with an Amazon buy link and quotes from the episode.
Aurora
Buy on Amazon"There's also a different perspective presented in Kim Stanley Robinson's book 'Aurora.' Many century ship stories exist where Earth sends out a generation ship to colonize another planet, only to discover that the planet isn't actually habitable for Earth life."
De rerum natura
Buy on Amazon"This is the frontier we are in, and that was the topic of my last book, "Light of the Stars." You've got to do the astrobiology of the Anthropocene."
Altered Carbon
Buy on Amazon""Altered Carbon" is a great series on this concept. I think it’s on Netflix; it's a really good series where that’s exactly the idea of sleeves."
Gödel, Escher, Bach
Buy on Amazon"And every koan, you know, if you've ever read 'Godel, Escher, Bach', he's got a whole chapter on koans. They're kind of non-logical problems that you have to work on."
