Eliot Peper's personal blog at eliotpeper.com covers writing and startups. Since 2014, 8 different Hacker News readers have linked it 30 times, most often “Government is a technology, so fix it like one”. The last post was in 2022, but the archive is still widely read.
Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers link Eliot Peper's Reading Recommendations newsletter, which suggests a handful of books once a month. One commenter links it while recommending other reading.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
Eliot Peper is the author of ten novels, including Bandwidth, Veil, Cumulus, and, most recently, Reap3r. He also publishes a blog, consults on special projects, and tweets more than he probably should.

What Hacker News says?
I really like Eliot Peper's Reading Recommendations, where he recommends a handful of books once a month: https://www.eliotpeper.com/p/inner-circle.html I've also been writing one for a bit over a year now that might be of interest to HN readers: Reading List, which I use for science fiction / fantasy storytelling commentary, reviews, and news: https://andrewliptak.substack.com/
