Crypto: How the Code Rebels Beat the Government--Saving Privacy in the Digital Age
Steven Levy
I knew crypto was important and followed it closely in the 90s, leading to this book in 2001. As with Hackers, I'm delighted that the subject matter has gone mainstream. (Though in both cases, the titles have taken on altered meaning.)

Build: An Unorthodox Guide to Making Things Worth Making
Tony Fadell
[Fadell] shares his experiences with the legendary career coach Bill Campbell to help others push their startups past the unicorn line. (One tip: Get a real coach.)

Hunky Dory
Jean Ure
50 years ago as a college student I reviewed Bowie’s Hunky Dory for 34th St, UPenn college paper. (Though I was attending Temple U.I forget how that happened.) Anyway, I raved. This is Sgt. Pepper 1971! I proclaimed. 1/2 Century later I stand by my judgment.

The Company: A Novel of the CIA
Robert Littell
The underappreciated Robert Littell is an American LeCarre, and his masterwork The Company is onsale as an ebook for two bucks. If you're interested in spy stuff, the Cold War or just a great read about the world of mirrors, I recommend it. https://t.co/rzjUUbib16

Burn Book: A Tech Love Story
Kara Swisher
Less a scorched-earth exposé than a primer for those who want to know the tech world from an insider perspective…Swisher slashes her way through the tech world like John Wick with a word processor, vanquishing vain CEOs and clueless media bosses and emerging without a scratch.
