<p><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/43615.The_Gunslinger">GoodReads Summary</a>:
In the first book of this brilliant series, Stephen King introduces readers to
one of his most enigmatic heroes, Roland of Gilead, The Last Gunslinger. He is
a haunting figure, a loner on a spellbinding journey into good and evil. In
his desolate world, which frighteningly mirrors our own, Roland pursues The
Man in Black, encounters an alluring woman named Alice, and begins a
friendship with the Kid from Earth called Jake. Both grippingly realistic and
eerily dreamlike, The Gunslinger leaves readers eagerly awaiting the next
chapter.</p>

Clojure for Machine Learning is an introduction to machine learning techniques
and algorithms. This book demonstrates how you can apply these techniques to
real-world problems using the Clojure programming language.</p>
<p>It explores many machine learning techniques and also describes how to use
Clojure to build machine learning systems. This book starts off by introducing
the simple machine learning problems of regression and classification. It also
describes how you can implement these machine learning techniques in Clojure.
The book also demonstrates several Clojure libraries, which can be useful in
solving machine learning problems.</p>

All complex computer systems eventually break, despite all of the
heavy-handed, bureaucratic change-management processes we throw at them. But
some systems are clearly more fragile than others, depending on how well they
cope with stress. In this O’Reilly report, Dave Zwieback explains how the
DevOps methodology can help make your system antifragile.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/20873338-clojure-for-the-brave-and-true">GoodReads Summary</a>:
As a Lisp-style functional programming language, Clojure lets you write robust
and elegant code, and because it runs on the Java Virtual Machine, you can
take advantage of the vast Java ecosystem. Clojure for the Brave and True
offers a &quot;dessert-first&quot; approach: you'll start playing with real programs
immediately, as you steadily acclimate to the abstract but powerful features
of Lisp and functional programming. Inside you'll find an offbeat, practical
guide to Clojure, filled with quirky sample programs that catch cheese thieves
and track glittery vampires.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6905041-land-of-lisp">GoodReads Summary</a>:
Lisp is a uniquely powerful programming language that, despite its academic reputation, is actually very practical. Land of Lisp brings the language into the real world, teaching Lisp by showing readers how to write several complete Lisp-based games, including a text adventure, an evolution simulation, and a robot battle. While building these games, readers learn the core concepts of Lisp programming, such as data types, recursion, input/output, object-oriented programming, and macros. And thanks to the power of Lisp, the code is short. Rather than bogging things down with reference information that is easily found online, Land of Lisp focuses on using Lisp for real programming. The book is filled with the author Conrad Barski's famous Lisp cartoons, featuring the Lisp alien and other zany characters.</p>

From a soaring Babylonian tower that connects a flat Earth with the heavens
above, to a world where angelic visitations are a wondrous and terrifying part
of everyday life; from a neural modification that eliminates the appeal of
physical beauty, to an alien language that challenges our very perception of
time and reality... Chiang's rigorously imagined stories invite us to question
our understanding of the universe and our place in it.</p>

Swift is a new programming language for creating iOS and OS X apps. Swift
builds on the best of C and Objective-C, without the constraints of C
compatibility. Swift adopts safe programming patterns and adds modern features
to make programming easier, more flexible, and more fun. Swift’s clean slate,
backed by the mature and much-loved Cocoa and Cocoa Touch frameworks, is an
opportunity to reimagine how software development works.</p>

Humans expanded into space... only to find a universe populated with multiple
alien species bent on their destruction. Thus was the Colonial Union formed,
to help protect us from a hostile universe. The Colonial Union used the Earth
and its excess population for colonists and soldiers. It was a good
arrangement... for the Colonial Union. Then the Earth said: no more.</p>

Everyone on Earth knows the tale I am part of. But you don't know my tale: How
I did what I did — how I did what I had to do — not just to stay alive but to
keep you alive, too. All of you. I'm going to tell it to you now, the only way
I know how: not straight but true, the whole thing, to try make you feel what
I felt: the joy and terror and uncertainty, panic and wonder, despair and
hope. Everything that happened, bringing us to Earth, and Earth out of its
captivity. All through my eyes.</p>
