Absolutely EVERYONE who ever wants to do anything with computers should read Nelson's Computer Lib/Dream Machines. It is one of the most important computer books ever written. (The Mythical Man-Month being the other.) Although it obviously shows its age in places, it's really amazing how well it's held up over half a century of the most rapid technological progress the world has ever seen. Nelson is a true visionary, and not being an engineer or scientist (he considers himself a filmmaker first), he has a very different, but very valid perspective on the way we should interact and relate to our machines. BTW, Puppy Linux community and parts of the Raspberry Pi community still have the spirit of those early days of computing/hacking/learning/pushing the envelope...
