I came to America as a teenager, settled in the Midwest, and gradually built a life in a country that I came to call home. Over the years, I have experienced tremendous kindness, opportunity, friendship, and acceptance. America gave me the chance to pursue my education, build a career, raise a family, and contribute to […]

I didn’t pick up Martin Ford’s Architects of Intelligence randomly. It was actually recommended to me as I was preparing to begin my graduate studies in AI Leadership and Ethics. I expected my early classes to take me through some of the history of artificial intelligence—where the field started, how we arrived at today’s generative

I picked up Omer Bartov’s Israel: What Went Wrong? because I wanted to understand Israel beyond the daily headlines. Over the years, I have read and heard countless arguments about Israel, Zionism, Palestine, occupation, war, security, and terrorism. Most of those conversations quickly become political, emotional, and deeply divided. What I was looking for was

By Kim Wehle — Reviewed by Bidrohi I have lived in the United States for many years, worked within the federal judiciary, and taken an oath to support and defend the Constitution.

By Molly Crabapple — Reviewed by Bidrohi Sometimes a book answers a question you didn’t know how to ask. I picked up Where We Live Is Our Country by Molly Crabapple because I wanted to better understand Jewish history beyond the familiar narratives. Most discussions about Jewish identity eventually arrive at Israel and Zionism, often

Like most of us, I’ve always known sleep is “good for you.” But this book made me realize how casually we ignore something so fundamental to our health and well-being.

There are wars we see and then there are wars we don’t. Chip War by Chris Miller tells the story of one such invisible conflict, one that doesn’t unfold on battlefields but inside laboratories, factories, and supply chains. It is a story about semiconductors — the tiny chips that power everything from smartphones to fighter

By Anil Seth Few questions are as profound as this one: What does it mean to be conscious? Not simply to think or process information, but to experience the world—to feel, perceive, remember, and exist as a self. I picked up Being You by neuroscientist Anil Seth with that question in mind, especially in the

By Peter Thiel and Blake Masters Some books don’t try to meet you halfway. Zero to One doesn’t soften its edges or seek consensus. It speaks with confidence, sometimes bordering on certainty, about how progress happens and who gets to shape it. I read it not as a startup manual, but as a glimpse into

In an age where artificial intelligence is increasingly described through headlines of fear, failure, and overreach, I picked up The Alignment Problem looking for clarity rather than confirmation. I wanted to understand what “alignment” actually means — not as a slogan, but as a real technical and ethical challenge. Brian Christian delivers exactly that: a
