I read books carefully then test their ideas against research, data, and first-principles thinking.
Sometimes the book holds up. Sometimes it doesn’t. Often, the truth is more nuanced than the headline.

I’m Nick Shoja.
I have a PhD in Computer Science, postdoctoral in Computer systems security, and I work with complex technical systems every day in telecom. Systems fail when assumptions go untested. Human ideas fail the same way.

I love books and here I treat books like systems:
I examine their assumptions, stress-test their claims, and show where they work and where they break.

Just clearer thinking.
