Chaos: Making a New Science

James Gleick's books in general, Chaos being a favorite. Sartre's essays on existentialism, Camus's big essays too. Jiddu Krishnamurti's Awakening intelligence is also very good. Edit0: How nonviolence protects the state, Peter Gelderloos. Very measured look at the discourse around violence and nonviolence. Fruitful read.

(https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/peter-gelderloos-how-nonviolence-protects-the-state) Edit1: Freud's Totems and taboos, and some Jung, but I forget what exactly.

I remember being blown away by this book as a teen: James Gleick - Chaos: Making a New Science https://www.amazon.com/Chaos-Making-Science-James-Gleick/dp/... (https://www.amazon.com/Chaos-Making-Science-James-Gleick/dp/0143113453)

Our Mathematical Universe - Max Tegmark Being and Nothingness - Sartre Chaos - Gleik Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman! - Feynman

1) Rockets, Missiles and Men in Space - Willy Ley ( side note: I rescued this book from a friend who was using it for target practice with an airgun!) 2) Chaos - James Gleick (I have to mention this one too) The Armchair Universe : An exploration of Computer Worlds - A. K. Dewdney

I still use SICP. K&R is a great too. I didn't get them till the 90's though. The book I used the most in the 80's was Chaos by James Gleick. I spent months coding up his mathematical models in basic on my 286. Good times.
