Gates said in the post that he's leaned toward nonfiction over time, but that's been changing. He said he was drawn back to the books he would've loved as a kid.
Gates liked science fiction and Paul Allen did. I was a big fan of science fiction when I was a kid. He said that he and Paul Allen would spend a lot of time talking about the trilogy. There was something thrilling about these stories that pushed the limits of what was possible.
"Project Hail Mary" was written by Andy Weir.
Gates said that the two sci-fi novels on the winter reading list made him think about how people can use technology to respond to challenges.
