Ask HN: technical book club recommendations?

Hey HN!

I run an engineering book club at work, and we’re looking for our next book. Any suggestions?

Our last book was Designing Data Intensive Applications, which was phenomenal.

Context:

- It’s ~30 engineers that split up into smaller discussion groups

- People have different levels of experience (some new grad, some have been coding for 10+ years)

- There’s a mix of stacks: server, mobile, web, ML

- We’re looking for something technical, but relevant and practical and not too abstract



How about some context books:

“The Idea Factory” by Gertner “Linked” by Barabasi “Deep Simplicity” by Gribbin “The Black Swan” by Talib “Chaos” by Gleick “The Experience Economy” by Gilmore & Pine


I have written a book on the future business implication of AI. It is called "Employeeless?" You might want to check it out,
