If you only read one chapter of Product this week, make it the problem-diagnosis framework — it's the highest-leverage section.

The Hustlers' Chronicle is quietly the best resilience playbook on our shelf — the case studies hold up far better than the title suggests.

Ground Up keeps coming up in operator conversations. The chapter on building before you have permission is the one people quote back to me.

Digital Africa drops in August — early read: it's the most honest map yet of what 'building for the next billion' actually costs.
