Ask HN: Book Recommendations for Teenagers
1 point by lsutiger on Oct 29, 2018 | hide | past | favorite | 2 comments
Hello All! What books would you recommend for a teenager who is trying to discover their passion for computer science and form a foundation of core mental models about life? Also books that help them learn computer science foundations would be helpful. Some examples I was thinking were

- Principles By Ray Dalio - Seeking Wisdom by Charlie Munger

Thanks!




A Mind For Numbers: How to Excel at Math and Science (Even If You Flunked Algebra) by Barbara Oakley

How Not to be Wrong: The Power of Mathematical Thinking by Jordan Ellenberg

I'm not sure but I heard Little Brother by Cory Doctorow covers ideas of privacy and information security?

I haven't read it myself yet but I heard great things about Gödel, Escher, Bach: an Eternal Golden Braid by Douglas Hofstadter.


Thank you for these suggestions! Just ordered on Amazon!
