Books We Pretend To Read
Gunnar Berger & Chuck Hirstius

Those that work in Silicon Valley know that there are some books that everyone is all but required to read: The Lean Startup, The Innovators Dilemma & The 4-hour Work Week are a few. The books change with the seasons, yet somehow CEOs chug through 60 books a year, while you're just trying to get your product shipped on time. That's where we come in! Chuck and Gunnar work in the tech world but in different areas (Engineering vs Product). We read each book & bring our own views/background to the conversation. Joining us each episode is a subject matter expert on each topic we cover.

1984 by George Orwell

Continuing with our theme of non-business books about technology we dial the clock back to 1948, the year George Orwell wrote the prophetic book: 1984. Who hasn't heard that "Big Brother Is Watching" or that we live in a Orwellian Society. Yet these common phrases are taken from a book that many of us haven't read. So this month Chuck and Gunnar dive into the depths of 1984, where we learn the meaning to these words that are already in our lexicon. What we learn while reading this is a bit scary in how close Orwell was to predicting (and warning us about) the society we live in today.
