The book lists keep coming, with Bill Gates now weighing in on the the reads he "enjoyed" in 2024. The billionaire Microsoft founder, who unveiled the list of four recommended books plus a bonus read on his blog, wrote the four "are, in one way or another, about making sense of the world around you." They cover topics including "artificial intelligence and love," per Quartz. They are:

  • An Unfinished Love Story: A Personal History of the 1960s by Doris Kearns Goodwin
  • The Anxious Generation: How the Great Rewiring of Childhood Is Causing an Epidemic of Mental Illness by Jonathan Haidt
  • Engineering in Plain Sight: An Illustrated Field Guide to the Constructed Environment by Grady Hillhouse
  • The Coming Wave: Technology, Power, and the 21st Century's Greatest Dilemma by Mustafa Suleyman
  • And, as a "bonus" read for tennis fans, Federer by Doris Henkel
