It was Thus Spoke Zarathustra. It feels out of reach now. It speaks of overcoming. This has become a distant and foreign language to me.

Nietzsche was an optimistic man. Why is he not recognized as one?

I read this book in elementary school and it left a lasting impression on me and my life.

“Mockingbird” by Walter Tevis. It’s all about an android with artificial intelligence seeking self determination and the lengths it will go to be true to its algorithms while also seeking the outcome it wants.

Here’s a summary I found online just now:

"Mockingbird" is a 1980 science fiction novel by Walter Tevis, set in a future where humanity is declining due to a combination of factors, including declining IQs and a reliance on drugs and robotic replacements for everyday tasks.

Talk about a prophecy.

Dune, but only if I bundle the first 4 books: Dune, Dune Messiah, Children of Dune and Godemperor of Dune, by Frank Herbert.

But if I have to name one book... then I probably go for: "The Plague" by Albert Camus.
