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 😆
Cheers!

I’m a senior computer programmer/developer, so I have to say: not what I know about.
Trusting trust is pretty good, if you want to develop paranoia.

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.
