   This is a great read. von Neumann was pivotal in the design of architecture, I think his contribution is way under appreciated - did you know he also wrote a terrific book The Computer and the Brain and coined the term the Singularity? https://onepercentrule.substack.com/p/the-architect-of-tomor...

   Wells was way above James in quality, prolific output and wide ranging genres, from sci-fi to history, fiction and social reform - his life story is worth studying carefully. His work even led towards the atomic bomb and statute of human rights. Dream boldly and build responsibly - https://onepercentrule.substack.com/p/hg-wells-dream-boldly-...
