What Tops Mark Zuckerberg's List in Science Books?

In 2016, Facebook Ceo, Mark Zuckerberg made it his mission to read one book every two weeks. While he read books from across various genres, these science books top his recommendation list.

1.The beginning of infinity by David Deutsch



Zuck’s take: It’s fitting to end the year with that book, and know how we can explain things and how it unlocks possibilities.

2.The Structure of Scientific Revolutions by Thomas S Kuhn

Zuck’s take:It’s a history of science book that explores the question of whether science and technology make consistent forward progress or whether progress comes in bursts related to other social forces.

3. Genome by Matt Ridley



Zuck’s Take: This book aims to tell the history of humanity from the perspective of genetics rather than sociology. This should complement the other broad histories I have read this year.

4. Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari

Zuck’s take: When I read Sapiens, I found the chapter on the evolution of the role of religion in life most interesting and I wanted to go deeper on.

5. On Immunity by Eula Bliss


Zuck’s take: This book explores the reason why some people question vaccines, and then logically explains why the doubts are unfounded and vaccines are in fact effective and safe.
