Netflix’s The Anthrax Attacks looks back at the 2001 spate of attacks targeting US media offices and senators using the deadly poison: Just a week after the events of September 11 2001, another wave of terrorist attacks began that saw letters containing anthrax spores mailed to news offices in New York and Democratic senators in Washington. The attacks went on for several weeks, leaving five people dead and infecting 17 others. Anthrax is a serious, potentially lethal infectious disease caused by Bacillus anthracis, a bacteria that commonly affects animals. The letters included messages such as “Death to America,” which led investigators to initially suspect international perpetrators but they eventually shifted to domestic suspects. The Anthrax Attacks takes a quasi-documentary approach to the incident and the nearly seven-year FBI investigation that followed, using interviews and archival news footage but with the addition of Clark Gregg playing Bruce Ivins, a microbiologist who offered his help with the investigation — and later became a lead suspect. You can watch the trailer here (runtime:1:39).

Is it better to be a generalist or specialist? David Epstein’s book Range argues that success in the modern world in the majority of fields has seldom lent itself to those that specialize early. Through a close look at research on successful performers, Nobel Prize winning scientists, and top performing athletes, Epstein concludes that generalists are better primed to thrive in most of the domains that are relevant to the modern economy. Epstein contrasts professional golf player Tiger Woods, who specialized early in his life, with professional tennis player Roger Federer, who explored a few different sports before finding his groove (and a record-breaking career) in tennis. While both have amassed great success and there is not just one path to success, Epstein argues that those with knowledge in different fields are better equipped to succeed in modern work, with a few exceptions he notes where specialization works better (many of which are fields based on pattern repetition, which Epstein points out is are more easily automatable). He argues that there are actually more options today for generalists who accumulate skills from various domains.
