Critiques

This Will Change Everything: Ideas That Will Shape… par John Brockman
A cheap idea but lots of prestigious contributors. Worth reviewing now 2020 to embarrass the original authors.

The Next Fifty Years: Science in the First Half of… par John Brockman
Very likely completely off but stimulating ideas. Lots of different authors so quality varies.

Possible Minds: Twenty-Five Ways of Looking at AI par John Brockman
There are some very good nuggets but it feels that the package is less than the sum of its parts because of the heterogeneous comparisons.

I think generally unproductive to read as a whole book - very interesting as micro biographies of individuals ideas separately.

Life: The Leading Edge of Evolutionary Biology,… par John Brockman
Lots of interesting science in the articles. But that also means some of them are a bit opaque. (And from my own personal biases, there wasn't enough botany.)
