I really enjoy Graham's essays, especially his thoughts on the American education system.

Just picked this up. Amazing essays. Graham takes the systematic and inductive approach of a philosopher and applies them to so many important current issues and technological questions. I love that an essay on the necessity and sufficiency of truth value in determining legitimacy of a proposition is followed by one on the strategic advantages of making web apps, written just as clearly.

This is a really thought-provoking book. Lots of little insights and comments that will cause you to look up from the book for 5 or 10 minutes and think about what you just read.

Paul Graham is the founder of Y Combinator and one of the most influential people in the early stage technology startup community. He is also an excellent writer, as this book demonstrates.
