Gazettabyte is asking various industry figures to recommend key books they have read this year.
Andrew Schmitt, founder and CEO at Cignal AI
I didn’t read that much this year but I did read The Wright Brothers by David McCullough. That was outstanding. McCullough is a great historical author and wrote a book that was both a biography of the Wrights as well as a narrative of their efforts to build the first powered airplane.
I didn't know of all of the other simultaneous, better-financed efforts that fell far short of the efforts of two brothers from Dayton, Ohio. I also was unaware of how the effort transfixed the world when they did complete it.
