I have spent years designing products that make people click a button faster. That’s the job of a product manager, after all. Reduce friction. Shorten time to action. Make sure the user gets from point A to point B in as few steps as possible. I’ve thought obsessively

Egan’s meticulous approach to mathematics and computational theory can intimidate casual readers but what makes the book truly compelling

I’ve always prided myself on my ability to focus deeply. Whether it was writing, reading, or solving problems at work, I could immerse myself for hours without distraction. But over the past few years, I’ve noticed a shift. My attention is more fragmented, and I find myself instinctively
