Ask HN: Book Club?

9 points by syndicatedjelly 1y ago ↗ HN

I was wondering if anyone would like to join a book club for “The Dream Machine” by M. Mitchell Waldrop. It is about the life of computing visionary JCR Licklider. It has been a really great read so far - Lick’s life intersects with every important person to the start of computing. I was thinking we could meet every couple weeks on a dedicated Discord server to discuss chapters. Please send me an email or reply to this message if you are interested.

Why not create the discord and share an invite to see if any people join? Less friction than having to send an email
