All books on Collective Intelligence →The Wisdom of Crowds — James Surowiecki
Under the right conditions, crowds make better decisions than experts. The evidence and the conditions.
The Logic of Scientific Discovery — Karl Popper
Popper's argument that science advances by falsification — by being wrong in specific, refutable ways. The standard FRQNCY holds to when distinguishing what can be tested from what can only be believed.
The Mythical Man-Month — Frederick Brooks
Brooks on what he learned managing OS/360 at IBM — that adding people to a late project makes it later, that the second system is always over-engineered, that no silver bullet is coming. The most reread book in software, and still right.
None of us is as smart as all of us. — Ken Blanchard
