I know you requested books, however, I feel I must participate. Watching the movie: Limitless w/Bradley Cooper, when I first saw, I didn't know that it would have such a big impact on my future. I still watch it at least once a year :)

Meditations by Marcus Aurelius.

The Power of Now. If it wasnt for that, I probably wouldn't got out of jail. That definitely helped me become a different man and allow me to think before I act and spend more time with family vs working, and appreciating what I have.

Reading George Orwell's "1984" during my first year of college as a computer science student was a life-changing experience for me. As someone deeply immersed in the world of technology, the novel's exploration of surveillance and privacy issues hit close to home. It made me acutely aware of how our actions and data might be constantly monitored, echoing the omnipresence of "Big Brother" in the book.

The novel also opened my eyes to the power of propaganda and media manipulation. It challenged me to scrutinize the information I consume more critically, understanding how language and media can be tools for controlling public opinion.

Another profound impact was on my appreciation for freedom and individual rights. The grim reality of a world without personal liberties, as depicted in the novel, made me value our democratic principles and freedoms even more.

On a deeper level, "1984" raised important philosophical and ethical questions for me. It sparked introspection about the nature of truth, reality, and our role in shaping society. These themes resonated with me as a student of technology, where we often grapple with ethical dilemmas and the shaping of reality.

Lastly, the book was a wake-up call about the dangers of complacency. It's a powerful reminder of the importance of questioning authority and not taking our freedoms for granted.

"1984" didn't just change how I view the world; it reshaped my understanding of my responsibilities as a citizen and as someone who contributes to the technological landscape.

There were several books that I read in college about "the hero's journey", like A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, Beowolf and Sidartha, that I think made me take myself too seriously.

"On The Beach". I had to read this book in the 9th grade and it was a big departure from what I thought would happen in an event like that and really made my think even though it was written decades before I was alive.
