This has a bizarrely eclectic flavor. (What is with all the SF movies? And if you're going to throw movies in here, why not games or music?) And it is painfully short on actual, you know, tech. No K&R? No introduction to quantum mechanics? No Art of Electronics? No Structures: Or Why Things Don't Fall Down? You would think there might be room in the canon for some actual science or engineering. Still, upmodded as a fun list of things to read. Just because it doesn't live up to its bombastic title doesn't mean it isn't useful.
