The Black Swan, by Taleb

you might also like "John Adams" by David McCullough.

I highly recommend "Lies My Teacher Told Me" by James Loewen.

"Elixir in Action" by Saša Jurić. The first and second chapters are excellent. However the third chapter (on Control Flow and Pattern Matching) isn't as well written

Memories of the Space Age by J G Ballard.

The Re-enchantment of Art, by Suzi Gablik. I hated it when I first read it
