"My core obsession is [your topic]. I want to understand it at the level of first principles, not just surface knowledge. Recommend 8 books from completely different disciplines that would give me mental models most people in my field have never encountered. Do not recommend books that are already famous in my industry. Recommend books that would make someone in my field say: I never would have thought to read that. Explain in one sentence why each book is a lateral entry point into my obsession."
