I'll add that one shouldn't exclude older books for being old. I've been reading scientific literature from the 1960s, and it's full of similar topics to now (information explosion, data science, organizational principles). They, like we, are in a bubble formed by the general cultural expectations of that era and topic.
Only, it's a different bubble than now.
It also ended up making me less interested in following the new hotness, when I realize it's often little different from the new hotness of a few decades ago. Makes me jaded before my time ;)
