Currently I am reading an Austrian economics classic - Economics in one lesson by Henry Hazlitt

An indepth history of Stuxnet. A bit long but recommended. You can not find any other book which goes this much in describing a mallware (no code).

The Reverse Centaur's Guide to Life After AI (How to Think About Artificial Intelligence-Before It's Too Late) By Cory Doctorow

It started slow (booting) but I'm enjoying the books (currently on #3), the universe-building and the length (10 books) of it.

Here's a few of the ones I've read and enjoyed:

“The Jigsaw Man” by Larry Niven

“The Night That All Time Broke Out” by Brian W. Aldiss

“A Toy for Juliette” by Robert Bloch (although I was surprisingly not a fan of Harlan's continuation)

“The Man Who Went to the Moon — Twice” by Howard Rodman

“Flies” by Robert Silverberg

Playing Off the Rail: A Pool Hustler's Journey by David McCumber (1996) - hustling in the golden era of pool in the usa

My goal is to read the history of ideas from Renaissance period till 2000s. Started with The Florentines by Paul Strathern. Then read The Clockwork Universe by Edward Dolnick. Now at the enlightenment era. It has been eye opening to read about the life and times of some of the great minds like Kepler, Galileo, Newton, Locke and more.

These two feel especially relevant:

Small Is Beautiful: Economics as if People Mattered - E.F. Schumacher

Tools for Conviviality - Ivan Illich

and

The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows - John Koenig
