Show: Severance (Apple TV+). If you haven't watched it, don't read anything about it - just watch it. Best sci-fi premise on TV in years and the production design is exceptional.
Podcast: Lex Fridman Podcast - yes, the episodes are long, but when he has genuinely technical guests the conversations go deeper than anything else available. The Andrej Karpathy and Donald Knuth episodes in particular.
Book: The Dispossessed by Ursula K. Le Guin. Technically 1974 but I read it last month. Dual narrative between two worlds with contrasting political systems. Still feels contemporary and the writing is excellent.
Album: Whatever the Weather - self-titled. Ambient electronic, generated algorithmically based on real-time weather data. Sounds like what it is in the best possible way. Good background for focused work.
