Subject: Fayyad Interview: recent books read

Q11: GPS: What is the most recent book you read and liked?

Usama Fayyad: I have now made it a habit to read 2 books simultaneously: one business and one scientific or social.

The most recent are:

  • Fumbling the Future: How Xerox Invented, Then Ignored, the First Personal Computer, by Douglas K. Smith, Robert C. Alexander and
  • Memoirs of the Second World War, by Winston Churchill.
Churchill's book is amazing on how pertinent it is to today's world! How many lessons do we repeatedly miss...

Prabhakar Raghavan is now making me read Modern Information Retrieval (by Baeza-Yates and Rebeiro-Neto) which I am enjoying.
