Of a similar note, but comes off very different (to me at least): Coders at work http://www.amazon.com/Coders-Work-Reflections-Craft-Programming/dp/1430219483/

I'm more of a fiction kind of guy so I'll have to recommend this:
Cryptonomicon
http://www.amazon.com/Cryptonomicon-Neal-Stephenson/dp/B004R96U4A/ http://www.amazon.com/Cryptonomicon-Neal-Stephenson/dp/B004R...
(The kindle edition is more than the paperback but if you do want to travel light the kindle edition will definitely be worth the extra bucks as it is one of those thick thousand page mass market paperbacks)
- mindcrime 16y ago+1 for Cryptonomicon. It isn't the easiest book to get through, but it's very worthwhile. Another couple of possibilities might be: The Soul of a New Machine - Tracy Kidder http://www.amazon.com/Soul-New-Machine-Tracy-Kidder/dp/0316491977 http://www.amazon.com/Soul-New-Machine-Tracy-Kidder/dp/03164... The Cuckoo's Egg: Tracking a Spy Through the Maze of Computer Espionage - Clifford Stoll http://www.amazon.com/Cuckoos-Egg-Tracking-Computer-Espionage/dp/1416507787/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1301927142&sr=1-1 http://www.amazon.com/Cuckoos-Egg-Tracking-Computer-Espionag... Hackers & Painters - Paul Graham (yes, that Paul Graham) http://www.amazon.com/Hackers-Painters-Big-Ideas-Computer/dp/1449389554/ref=pd_sim_b_7 http://www.amazon.com/Hackers-Painters-Big-Ideas-Computer/dp...
