The Snows of Kilimanjaro

This book by Ernest Hemingway was genuinely recommended once in the episodes we index, on Lex Fridman. The people who vouched for it on air: guest. It comes up in conversations about brain health, consciousness. Every quote below is verbatim, attributed, and linked to the exact second it was said. Sourced expert opinion, not medical advice.

A collection of short stories previously published in Hemingway’s earlier collections. These are generally considered the best of the early short stories. Ranging from semi-autobiographical tales from his childhood in Michigan to the contemplative title story, set in Africa and stories set in Europe during or post WW1.

He runs Neosensory, a company building sensory-substitution wearables, and authored Livewired and Incognito. Neuroscientist David Eagleman explains why the brain is not hardware plus software but a constantly self-rewiring 'livewired' system.
