Holy shit. Top tier post.

will give it a try
The Communist Manifesto
>inb4 muh gorillian
>inb4 the kulakcs
>inb4 Jeff Bezos "EARNED" his money
Not excactly tech related (maybe you could call it sci-fi), but a good book none the less. Pic related is good too
don't be obstructive
ISAIF covers more topics and is easier to read, especially when not in your mothertongue. Ellul is complicated, while TJK makes simple and clear statements.
Not saying that Ellul isn't a great read, really insightful, too.
well I came ITT to post this, this really is it. What a grand book.
elaborate, what makes it so good?
...
>quoting it to the only person posting Jow Forums-related material
ok
>not exactly tech related
it is if technology is what is pushing society in that direction
idk it's good. Read it.
>not suggesting The Doors of Perception and Heaven and Hell...
Download link? Can't find it on libgen
I have this book. Bunch of horse shit tho. Not really "pragmatic".
and that's a good thing!
>how did you even find such a shitty picture
good to know. thanks
>google image search
The Planiverse.
amazon.com
I'm betting most of the kids here haven't even read Flatland...
Shitposting aside, Lem's books are really, REALLY good. Not in the sense that they are well written (although the older ones are, later on he has an unfortunate tendency to have characters recite 10 pages worth of monologue), but because of how many interesting ideas he had.
please read this
Hackers delight
Fantastic series of books. This is the first.
;^)
>astro.puc.cl
holy shit , that is another level of coding + math ...no wonder his mind escaped reality.
There is a good list of books for every language in the sticky.
Not being facetious, its actually quite a comprehensive list.
Also check learnxinyminutes.com
If it's a literary classic you can probably find better answers with a search.

I just finished the Nature of Code and it was the best book I've read in a long time. You can read it for free here:
natureofcode.com
The way he integrated the code examples and the content made the book easy to understand. I read a lot of books too, and this one really stood out against just about everything else.
In my 45 years of life, I've watched too many of you faggots fuck up everything to do with rope. Huge gordian slip knots of failure meant to keep a mattress on the roof of your Civic.
Buy this book before I have to go on a 50 state tour and kick you all in the balls.
Ayy this was required text for my Systems class last semester; I bought instead of rented. Pretty good stuff.
I got this as a gift but still haven't read it, is it really that good?
based and tedpilled
(checked)
Fucking kek.
Is this the story of his transition to a her?
Just finished reading pic related. 10/10, really enjoyable read.
looks like the sort of book you use as a reference rather than read cover from cover.
Get yourselves some culture, fellas.
I agree Lem is one of the best and probably my favourite.
I haven't read a book in 5 years l0l
yo is this an allegory?
>symbolism
>modernism
>culture
No way, fag
>communism
I really wish I had the power to send you pasty middle-class fuckers to live in the USSR while still existed so you could experience the joys of that failed ideology first hand.
this. Also Forbidden Colors
the only baudelaire i really enjoyed was the Amoenitates Belgicae, is like 19th century french shitposting, in verse.
but the whole debauchery and libertine shit is pretty cool, though i prefer donatien alphonse françois for that.
My love, do you recall the object which we saw,
That fair, sweet, summer morn!
At a turn in the path a foul carcass
On a gravel strewn bed,
Its legs raised in the air, like a lustful woman,
Burning and dripping with poisons,
Displayed in a shameless, nonchalant way
Its belly, swollen with gases.
The sun shone down upon that putrescence,
As if to roast it to a turn,
And to give back a hundredfold to great Nature
The elements she had combined;
And the sky was watching that superb cadaver
Blossom like a flower.
So frightful was the stench that you believed
You'd faint away upon the grass.
The blow-flies were buzzing round that putrid belly,
From which came forth black battalions
Of maggots, which oozed out like a heavy liquid
All along those living tatters.
All this was descending and rising like a wave,
Or poured out with a crackling sound;
One would have said the body, swollen with a vague breath,
Lived by multiplication.
And this world gave forth singular music,
Like running water or the wind,
Or the grain that winnowers with a rhythmic motion
Shake in their winnowing baskets.
The forms disappeared and were no more than a dream,
A sketch that slowly falls
Upon the forgotten canvas, that the artist
Completes from memory alone.
Crouched behind the boulders, an anxious dog
Watched us with angry eye,
Waiting for the moment to take back from the carcass
The morsel he had left.
— And yet you will be like this corruption,
Like this horrible infection,
Star of my eyes, sunlight of my being,
You, my angel and my passion!
Yes! thus will you be, queen of the Graces,
After the last sacraments,
When you go beneath grass and luxuriant flowers,
To molder among the bones of the dead.
Then, O my beauty! say to the worms who will
Devour you with kisses,
That I have kept the form and the divine essence
Of my decomposed love!
This
Go away
