“Project Hail Mary,” by Andy Weir
The winter reading list includes two sci-fi novels that “made me think about how people can use technology to respond to challenges,” Gates said. One is Andy Weir’s “Project Hail Mary,” in which a high school science teacher wakes up on a spaceship in a different solar system with no memory of how he got there.
“Klara and the Sun,” by Kazuo Ishiguro
The other sci-fi book is Kazuo Ishiguro’s “Klara and the Sun.” “I love a good robot story,” Gates said of the book.

Gates also recommends two non-fiction books about cutting edge science. One is Walter Isaacson’s “The Code Breaker: Jennifer Doudna, Gene Editing, and the Future of the Human Race,” which focuses on the discovery of CRISPR gene-editing.

In “A Thousand Brains: A New Theory of Intelligence,” Jeff Hawkins, who co-invented the PalmPilot, explores artificial intelligence.
