The True Believer: Thoughts on the Nature of Mass Movements is a non-fiction book authored by the American social philosopher Eric Hoffer. Published in 1951, it tries to explain why mass movements arise to challenge the status quo.

In a Few Words: The dis-enfranchised and the “New Poor” are the most likely source of converts for mass movements. A variety of what Hoffer terms “misfits” are also found in mass movements. Examples include “chronically bored”, the physically disabled or perpetually ill, the talentless, and criminals or “sinners”. In all cases, Hoffer argues, these people feel as if their individual lives are meaningless and worthless.

The Master Algorithm: How the Quest for the Ultimate Learning Machine Will Remake Our World is a book by Pedro Domingos released in 2015. Domingos wrote the book to generate interest from people outside the field of AI.

In a Few Words: There is a God and God created everything. When God was finished creating everything, God made Man and then God made Woman. God only made two genders. God mostly loves all God’s creations. God knows the end story but isn’t telling. Be nice (just in case).
