Please note the intial collection comes from a cursory review of all the episodes, and often not a full listen. If you find a typo or a missing book mention, please let me know.

Guidelines

  1. Follow the format below.
  2. The list should include the best-selling or topical book by the guest, if the guest is an author.

Format

	{
		"ep":1,
		"guest":"Max Tegmark",
		"title":"Life 3.0",
		"yt":"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gi8LUnhP5yU",
		"books":[
			{
				"title":"Life 3.0",
				"author":"Max Tegmark"
			}
		]
	},

Methodology

In general, the content is viewed on youtube.

  1. Check show notes for a "Literature" or "recommendations" timestamp
  2. Hover over timeline to check frame thumbnails for book covers displayed on screen.
  3. Search for topical books written by the guest, choose the most popular, relevant one.

This is by no means set in stone, nor does the book have to appear or be mentioned in the podcast audio.

Yes, this was and is done manually. Yes, that is probably not the optimal solution.
