Summary: I initially read this book when I was a sophomore in high school and I didn't really think much of it. Probably my thoughts at the time were that it thought too dramatically about life.

This book really emphasizes how important everything is, and how much I don't choose to ignore my own heart + gut feelings. I would highly recommend this book to anyone at any point in their life. It really made me rethink a lot of how I view my goals, love etc. When I felt overly stressed out, reading it was one of the few things that would help me reground myself in my environment. It helped me view my daily life as how it is, and allowed me to romanticize it too. I hope that my words can fully express just how much this book means to me.

Summary: Extremely captivating, changed my thought process on what constitutes meaningful innovation. There should be a reconnect between engineers and government. Furthermore we should rethink about why it is we, as engineers, outright oppose military work, and whether we hold any biases in this view.
