hello

2023 - Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone 

This year will be a time of great change. You'll be moving away from your family, meeting new people, and adapting to a new environment. So amongst all that chaos and change, why not stick to something that has been a constant in your life for so long. A comfort book. A comfort world. Bonus points for watching the movies to supplement the material and extra extra bonus points for going on Wattpad and finding Caleb's HP fanfics. 

2024 - Why We Sleep

By now, you've lost at least 653 hours of sleep in your first year of college so its time you figure out this whole sleep schedule thing. You've heard this book recommended on countless podcasts and understand the importance healthy sleeping patterns can bring to your life and want to try implementing the best practices into your life. 

2025 - Family Life 

It is now your third year into college (assuming you haven't dropped out already. Impressive. I'm proud of you Sri). This year is a big year in your family. Many of your cousins are likely getting married and maybe your own brother. You'll be making frequent trips to India and across the US to visit your relatives and family will be a major part of your life. As you start being treated like an adult by some of your older cousins, you will begin to work on your skills in maintaining family relationships and working to settle the inevitable arguments and divides that may arise.  

2026 - Zero To One

Last year of college. Once again, impressive. You've made it this far. Did not expect that from you. At this point, many of your classmates are likely looking for jobs. You will likely rewatch a few movies that criticize the monotonous nature of the 9-5 work life and you will be inspired for a few short weeks to head the other direction - perhaps you want to start your own business, perhaps you want to travel the world. You decide that you want to create a startup because by now, your classmates have already started a few hundred. You will read this book and hopefully be inspired. Your startup likely failed and then you decided to listen to your parents and hopefully began working a 9-5. But hey, we live and we learn. 

2027 - Isaac Asimov's Foundation Series

At this point, you are surprised you're still alive considering AGI should have already been implemented but hey, you're not complaining. So if the world hasn't already been completely transformed by technology, then lets give ourselves some science fiction to read. The Foundation series is a classic. You've loved Asimov's short essays and many of your robotics mentors have recommended you read it so why not finally give it a shot. 

2028 - AGI gained sentience...
