Inspirations
Here I curate works that leave strong impressions on me. This list is a way for me to track the evolution of my interests, and to share with you the cool things that other people make.
Update, September 2020: This list is desperately out of date. I will update sometime!

Radical Technologies: The Design of Everyday Life
By Adam Greenfield
Weiwei Hsu
Interaction designer striving to bridge the gap between ideals and reality.
Daniel Kao Software engineer, previously at NYT, covering the interplay of politics, technology, and education.
Ken Liu Self-described writer of “silk-punk” (and translator, and software engineer, and litigation attorney.)
Cixin Liu Chinese sci-fi author of the Three Body Series, a force of imagination that abides by the physics of reality.
Yang Yang Cheng Particle physicist writing about growing up within the story of China. Her essays are deeply eloquent, personal, and informative, told within sociopolitical context.
Michio Kaku
Physicist and futurist. What is so special about Kaku: a willingness to entertain anything, no matter how farfetched. The bounds of his reality are limitless.
