Ask HN: Book Recommendations for Teenagers

1 points by lsutiger 8y ago

Hello All! What books would you recommend for a teenager who is trying to discover their passion for computer science and form a foundation of core mental models about life? Also books that help them learn computer science foundations would be helpful. Some examples I was thinking were - Principles By Ray Dalio - Seeking Wisdom by Charlie Munger Thanks!

A Mind For Numbers: How to Excel at Math and Science (Even If You Flunked Algebra) by Barbara Oakley How Not to be Wrong: The Power of Mathematical Thinking by Jordan Ellenberg I'm not sure but I heard Little Brother by Cory Doctorow covers ideas of privacy and information security? I haven't read it myself yet but I heard great things about Gödel, Escher, Bach: an Eternal Golden Braid by Douglas Hofstadter.
