A book store near us has an amazing January sale, so:

Entertainment: Babel - An Arcane History by RF Kuang, Time Out of Joint by Philip K. Dick, and my usual re-read of Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy

Non-fiction: Code (second edition), The Myth of Normal by Gabor & Daniel Mate

[DanHulton]

Code (second edition) is excellent, just excellent. I read the first edition when it came out and it helped me contextualize the entire chain of how computers work. I've gotten rusty on that over the years, and I'm really enjoying going back through that and freshening up.

I didn't know there was a 2nd edition, thanks!

Petzold is a hero, this talk (2014) is on that same 'back to basics' wavelength and it's just brilliant: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srWQdTGlnVg
