This is a list of books, sites, and blog posts I have found useful or thought provoking. Some are about human behaviour rather than specific digital or technical topics.
This is inspired by Patrick Collison’s Bookshelf. If you are based in the UK like me, I recommend Hive books as an alternative to Amazon.
