Any book by Isaac Asimov
I have stacks of collections of science-fiction short stories. I grab these before getting on a long flight, so if a story is just unreadable, I have 20 others to try. Asimov was one of my favorites, and I still love his books. They were my go-to as a 10-year-old (which is still my normal mental state)."

Money quote: "The Secret History of Mac Gaming is the story of those communities and the game developers who survived and thrived in an ecosystem that was serially ignored by the outside world. It's a book about people who made games and people who played them — people who, on both counts, followed their hearts first and market trends second. How in spite of everything they had going against them, the people who carried the torch for Mac gaming in the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s showed how clever, quirky, and downright wonderful videogames could be"

In Ontario, Canada, i First Nations (gli indiani) hanno un problema: le scorie nucleari che si vuole interrare nel loro spazio. Astuti canadesi.
Money quote: "These lands also include one of the major nuclear hubs in Canada: Bruce Power, which sits on the SON's traditional territories. First Nations here haven't always had a good relationship with Ontario Power Generation (OPG), the Crown corporation that owns the Bruce. Now the two are working together, partly out of necessity—OPG wants to bury radioactive waste on SON lands, in an underground bunker where it could stay for up to a million years. But OPG has also agreed not to proceed with the plan without the Nations' support."

Matrimoni, figli, separazioni, dolori. Se si guarda quel filo sottile che ancora resiste del discorso produttore di senso nel nostro Paese, si trova la sofferenza della quotidianità, il prodotto delle mille decisioni e delle mille tensioni che contribuiamo tutti a realizzare. Adesso che si è parlato, ad esempio, del nuovo modo di valutare gli alimenti per le coppie separate, l'oggetto del discorso è stato il caso delle coppie illustri, come Silvio e Veronica. Ma la verità della vita non è quella: è fatta invece di piccoli divorzi, di ripicche, di dolore conquistato quotidianamente, ineliminabile, insuperabile. Segni che definiscono vite, senza scampo.

Il Corriere della Sera ha aperto i suoi archivi e tirato fuori il (piccolo) diario da Hong Kong tenuto da Tiziano Terzani, inviato speciale per l'addio della colonia britannica, restituita come da accordo secolare alla Cina, nella forma della Repubblica popolare. Un pezzetto di storia che mi è caro e di cui ho potuto raccogliere alcune tracce, nel tempo.
Money quote: "«I nuovi padroni di Hong Kong sono cinesi e tra cinesi ci intenderemo», mi diceva uno dei tanti miliardari di qui, con una delle più belle collezioni di arte contemporanea cinese e una delle piu’ grandi collezioni di vini francesi. Mi aveva invitato a cena e in perfetto inglese mi spiegava che anche lui non poteva piu’ sopportare l’arroganza coloniale degli inglesi e che occupandosi esclusivamente di affari non avrà nulla da temere. Eravamo in una di quelle belle case sulla collina con vista sulla baia e mi tornavano in mente i drammatici giorni del 1967, quando la gente come lui era terrorizzata. In Cina la Rivoluzione Culturale era al suo apice e il Fiume delle Perle portava nel mare di Hong Kong i cadaveri delle vittime."

Dieci anni di iPhone: come tutto è cambiato - il mio articolo per Macity
Money quote: “Cos’è stato in realtà l’iPhone? Steve Jobs lo presentò come tre apparecchi in uno: un telefono, un tablet per navigare la rete e un iPod. La concorrenza, cioè quelle aziende che fino a pochi giorni prima ignoravano di poter essere concorrenti di Apple, si trovarono a competere con un oggetto che fraintesero completamente. Perché pensarono all’iPhone come a un telefono, mentre la strategia di Apple – come è invece risultato evidente a Google che, non a caso, trasformò al volo il suo Android effettuando una manovra di spionaggio e recuperto strategico tra le più efficaci della storia della tecnologia – era completamente diversa.”

Sono abbastanza convinto anche io, come giornalista che da venti anni segue il mercato digitale, che non vedremo mai più una cosa del genere. E mi reputo una persona privilegiata per essere stato in quella sala del Moscone Center in cui venne presentato a gennaio del 2007 e aver potuto provare in esclusiva, il giorno dopo, il primo iPhone.
