The fundamentals don’t change fast and are what everything else is built on, so I would start there.
For example, if you don’t have a traditional CS degree, https://teachyourselfcs.com/ is a curated and effective set of books.
If your trying to understand complex systems, I would read Designing Data Intensive Applications, which is perhaps the best and most useful technical book I have ever read, and covers the most important parts of distributed systems. A lot of what’s in the book are fundamental distributed systems, from the 70-80s?/newer things from early 2000s built by BigTechCo
