I've been hoodwinked too many times by well-reviewed pop-sci books which I later discovered to be hated by the actual scientists who do the work. Quantum Supremacy by Michio Kaku was the final straw ๐Ÿ˜†

Two books I found really useful at the time:

The Little LISPer by Daniel P Friedman

Applied Cryptography by Bruce Schneier

Both are rather niche, but helped me understand general computing and design concepts.
