This book by Franz Kafka 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: Lex Fridman. Every occurrence below links to the episode page and to the exact second it was said on YouTube.
“Once again, it is a haunting story of the soullessness of bureaucracy and its suffocation of the human spirit. I highly recommend this short book”— Lex Fridman
