Digital illustration of a colorful stack of books representing the 2025 Year-End Reading List. The visible titles on the spines are Human Acts, Populus, The Engineers of Chaos, Nexus, and Distancia de rescate.

It’s been a few months since my last reading update, and as we wrap up 2025, I wanted to share a fresh batch of books that have sparked my curiosity.

If you’ve followed my blog, you know I’m drawn to topics that explain why the world works the way it does, whether through the lens of history, technology, economics, or the complexities of human behavior. The non-fiction titles in this list reflect that mix, ranging from AI and populism to the daily life of the Roman Empire.

In fiction, I have been drawn to emerging Latin American writers and global masters, including several recent Nobel Prize winners.

Below, you’ll find my latest reads, followed by a recap of the books I recommended earlier this year.

Insights from the AI 2027 Report

This past weekend I read the AI 2027 report, a fascinating piece of future foresight on the trajectory of artificial intelligence, released a few months ago. The report is long, dense, and full of tech jargon, but it lays out two vivid scenarios for how AI might evolve over the next five years.

The methodology follows the practice of “future foresight,” where scenarios are created and presented as a chronological story, without assigning them an exact probability of occurrence. This approach does not aim to predict the future, but to explore plausible paths, stress-test assumptions, and open space for informed debate about what might happen.

The report was created by Daniel Kokotajlo, Scott Alexander, Thomas Larsen, and Eli Lifland under the collective name AI Futures Project. Their goal is to draw attention to the possible implications of AI’s extremely rapid progress. The intent is not to predict the future with certainty, but rather to generate realistic scenarios that can spark conversations about public policy and preparedness, recognizing that the exact forecast and timing could change.

As an investor in tech, I am always on the lookout for the next big thing in the industry. And in my opinion, chatGPT is definitely worth paying attention to.

It has been making waves in the tech industry due to its impressive ability to mimic human conversation and generate coherent responses to a wide range of topics.
