The Age of Spiritual Machines—Ray Kurzweil, outdated but thought provoking.
My Stroke of Insight—Jill B Taylor, a TED talk-ish book on neuroscience for the masses.
I am a Strange Loop—Douglas Hofstadter, GEB without the dialogues and focused on consciousness.
The Signal and the Noise—Nate Silver, makes a good case for Bayes’ theorem without showing the theorem.
Social Engineering: the Art of Human Hacking—Chris Hadnagy, rehashes Cialdini’s Influence, describes some neat techniques, and includes some pseudoscience. Still nice intro to social engineering despite the author being a pentester, not a writer.
