Probably The Singularity by Ray Kurtzweil. Came across it at random digging through the tiny tech section of my university library. I don't think until that point I had really understood the idea of accelerating progress, like I knew that I wanted to work in technology just out of interest, but that book really instilled in me that the pace of change could be really quite rapid through my career, which to me made it all the more exciting. Certainly in my career in software so far that's turned out to be the case.
