Good Non-Fiction Books

[DANKTHRONE]

Post the last great non-fiction book you've read. Preferably for the general reader but technical stuff is good too.

Just finished rereading "The Information" by James Gleick. Absolutely incredible. I knew nothing about information theory before but it is like a fundamental paradigm for understanding computer science, biology, physics, probability, communications, electrical engineering and other shyt.

Amazon

Currently reading "Harperland". It's alright but no one gives a shyt about Canada so I won't bother.
