20 Must-Read Books for a Techie


2. Code and Other Laws of Cyberspace

Author: Lawrence Lessig

Seems like a heavy tech book at first, but as you read the first pages you realize the genius of the author and how did he make it readable for everybody. One could view this book as a sci-fi one, as the author suggests that governments could change the “code” of the Internet and make it controllable. It’s another book about the Internet, but, this author tries to prove that the Internet could be the key for us to restart the democratic process that seems lost. A wonderful book that combines Internet and a futuristic view of the political aspect of the world.

1. The Time Machine

Author: H.G. Wells

This awesome book is written by the genius of sci-fi, Herbert Wells. Traveling in time has been the biggest dream for humanity, a possibility that we were talking about since childhood. It will remain a wonderfully written book, ready to make you dream and get lost in webs of desire. It will make you wanna go back and see how big the dinos were and see how humanity will look like one hundred years from now.
