Yup, was just about to recommend Coders at Work. Great, great book! I have Bernie Cosell and Donald Knuth's interviews still to read. And once done, I will go back and re-read all the interviews again. Such a gem that book!

I actually bought this one yesterday and am looking forward to starting it! And I'll take books of all kinds haha!

I'm a huge fan of Hans Rosling.

I haven't finished this book yet, but I really like Factfulness by Hans Rosling.

I also love Bill Gates' video review @ gatesnotes.com/Books/Factfulness.

My favorite book so far this year is Hello World: How to be Human in the Age of the Machine by Hannah Fry. It is a fun book about the progress of algorithms and their impact in our lives thus far, and where their influences might go.
