I was recently asked for book suggestions by somebody who's looking to make a pivot from finance into the tech field and wants a book that will teach them a little more about the field, though not necessarily a textbook. I am an engineer but I'm not in tech or computer science or anything, so I'm not sure I'd have the most relevant recommendations, but I guess as an example for someone interested in engineering I'd have suggested something like Adrian Newey's How to Build a Car, where Newey talks about his career as a motorsport engineer and some of the technical stuff about the cars he's designed along the way. Anything like that for computer science, machine learning, social networks, something like that?
