"How Would You Move Mount Fuji? Microsoft's Cult of the Puzzle" by William Poundstone
A friend of mine recommended I read this book before my interview with Microsoft so I started the book expecting another dry "job search" book. I was wrong and pleasantly surprised.
The book is very readable and enjoyable. It covers the much larger topic of intelligence and how to measure intelligence and the history of IQ tests in the USA. I found this storyline fascinating.
The book also covers various puzzle questions that are used in interviews. The puzzles were fun and the tips for dealing with these questions seemed useful (although I have not tried them in practice yet).
Overall I highly recommend this book for anyone interviewing in the technology industry. It gives a lot of insight into Bill Gates, Jr's personality and by extension, the culture of Microsoft - one of the most influential companies in tech. Even if you dont plan to interview at Microsoft, the material here is both useful and generally entertaining no matter where you interview.
