This book by Lois Lowry 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: Sara Seager. Every occurrence below links to the episode page and to the exact second it was said on YouTube.

“there's one book i wish everyone could read i'm not sure if you've read it it's actually a children's book it's called the giver”— Sara Seager
