To hear Patrick Collison tell it, "we see that one of the main limits on Stripe's growth is the number of successful startups in the world. If we can cheaply help increase that number, it makes a lot of business sense for us to do so."
The J.C.R. Licklider book was difficult for me just because the font is small. I ended up finding an epub version and read that instead and loved it. The physical book is beautiful though and I'm glad I have it.

I guess 2018. I learned about them relatively recently and IMHO they're doing a pretty darn good job.
The books are also physically really pleasant to hold and look at.
I’ve read each book they’ve published and enjoyed them all.
