This book by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky came up once on Lex Fridman in the episodes we index. That mention was a genuine on-air recommendation, not just a passing reference. The people who brought it up: Dmitri Dolgov. Every occurrence below links to the episode page and to the exact second it was said on YouTube.
“roadside picnic hard to be a god beetle in an ant hill monday starts on saturday like it's it's not just science fiction”— Dmitri Dolgov
The guest here is Dmitri Dolgov: CTO of Waymo, the autonomous driving company that began as Google's self-driving car project in 2009. He has worked on the project since the DARPA Urban Challenge era and helped lead it to the first at-scale public driverless ride-hailing deployment. Waymo CTO Dmitri Dolgov on building a truly driverless car, scaling beyond Phoenix, and why aggression isn't the same as good driving.
