Are you an engineer or innovator who loves reading books? If yes, then you have landed in the right place, because we have some amazing books waiting for you ahead. This is Greg, your host, and this is TechWiki, your one stop for engineering and technology-related content. Today, I'm going to take you through six books for engineers, recommended by the one who is known by the whole world, the one and only Elon Musk. In an interview, Elon Musk clearly said, don't confuse school with education. This man, who is one of the world's richest men, never went to Harvard, but the people who work in his company have studied from Harvard. He gives all the credit for what he is today to the books he read. And that's not all. Watch this video till the end to find out the surprise we have waiting for you there.

Without any further ado, let's jump into the video. 1. Structure, or Why Things Don't Fall Down, by J.E. Gordon. Whenever Elon Musk had to learn about something, he always went to books, and he did the same when he wanted to learn rocket science. To gain some understanding of the field, he studied textbooks on astrophysics and engineering. He appreciates this book a lot for his success, as it offers a lighter take on the science behind SpaceX. 2. Benjamin Franklin, an American Life, by Walter Isaacson. Elon Musk is a role model for many people globally. His role model is Benjamin Franklin. This nobleman was a scientist, author, diplomat, and inventor. He made big discoveries in the field of science, and the world today knows him for his astonishing accomplishments. Elon Musk says that Benjamin Franklin was an entrepreneur who built everything from scratch. 3. Superintelligence, Paths, Dangerous, Strategies, by Nick Bostrom. Musk has always thought five times ahead of time, and the world has witnessed his contribution to technology and humanity. Where he has given technology a new face, he also talks about technology's ill effects. Bostrom's book is worth reading, Musk tweeted in 2014. In which the author talked about how artificial intelligence is going to surpass human intelligence, and Musk is continuously working in the direction of saving humans from AI. Maybe that's why he recommends the book to fellow engineers to join him with some innovative ideas. Here's a quick interruption.

Artificial Intelligence, and the End of the Human Era. Our final invention by James Barrett. The book forces you to think if humans could really exist with artificial intelligence, which is the most important question arising nowadays with the introduction of AI. Till now, many debates have been done to date, and in fact, Elon Musk said that artificial intelligence knows how to grow, and it will destroy anything and everything that will come in its way. What do you think? Ignition, in humans as emotional beings, survive with mentally superior AI? 5. Ignition, an informal history of liquid rocket propellants. When you think about going to space, what's the first thing that comes to your mind? A spaceship, right? Ignition is the story of the search for a rocket fuel that could be trusted to take man into space. In this book, you will come across various researchers that have been done against the law of nature to find an appropriate rocket fuel. John Drewy Clark has written this sci-fi in which you will read about development of the explosive fuel strong enough to negate the relentless restraints of gravity. Rocket fuel is one of the most important things to build a rocket, and must gain this knowledge from this amazing sci-fi book. 6. Life 3.0, Being Human in the Age of Artificial Intelligence by Max Tagmark. In Life 3.0, MIT professor Max Tagmark has mentioned how artificial intelligence is beneficial for human life, and he is ensured that technological progress remains aligned with humanity's future goals. It's one of the few books must recommend fellow innovators to learn about the possibility of AI as a force for good rather than evil. Here is a quick interruption.

Congratulations, as you have reached this far, we would like to award you with a bonus book recommended by Elon Musk to the engineers. 7. Einstein, His Life and Universe by Walter Isaacson. Musk is a big fan of Walter Isaacson's works. In a 2012 interview, Musk recommended Isaacson's biography of Albert Einstein, a man who left a profound mark on science and human history. The book is based on Einstein's letters and explores how he went from a young, frustrated patent officer to a Nobel Prize winner. It's a story that likely inspired Musk.
