I advise reading good fiction, especially "hard sci-fi", to get your mind in a good place for the startup scene.

Like most people on HN probably would, I recommend reading Neil Stephenson's books, especially Cryptonomicon, The Diamond Age and Snowcrash (in order descending order of subjective of relevance).

I loved Snowcrash! For more science fiction, I personally like Michael Crichton.
