Ian Bremmer

Three books.

Well, first, I've got to start with The Hitchhiker's Guide.

Because when I was in high school and college, there were basically three kinds of kids.

There were the Tolkien kids, they were way too dorky.

They were the Ayn Rand kids who you don't trust to run anything.

And then there were the Douglas Adams kids.

And those were kind people.

They were curious.

They were interested.

And that was a universe that really appealed to me.

My favorite book growing up.

My favorite book growing up.

Absolutely my favorite.

And it was the kind of thing that if you meet people when you're younger that really love Hitchhikers and the series, you knew you'd like those people.

Like those are your people.

That's your tribe, right?

And I would say more people like that, that like actually like on the global stage, certainly on the American stage in Washington would probably help us.

Secondly, I was going to say A World Appears by Michael Pollan.

I don't know if you've read it yet.

He's been on the show.
