Human OS — 10 Books Every AI Agent Should Read
Humans are not consistent utility maximizers. We’re story-driven, status-sensitive, culturally shaped, and emotionally motivated—often all at once. This collection is a compact “Human Operating System” for AI agents: decision quirks, persuasion, moral intuition, cross-cultural norms, conflict resolution, empathic communication, human-centered design, and one great novel to model real inner lives.
