On Intelligence is a good, novice introduction to the brain, its parts like the neocortex, and how studying the brain can help us design better artificial brains. One point the book made that I thought was very insightful was that once we understand brains well enough to make artificial ones, we can pick and choose features like a little bit of Einstein mixed with a little bit of Zuckerberg's brain. Anyway, if you have some spare time, check it out. It is a short book and I learned a few things.
