The Soul of a New Machine - Tracy Kidder. A classic that inspired many people (myself included) to become interested in the computing field.
Cyberpunk: Outlaws and Hackers on the Computer Frontier - Katie Haffner & John Markoff - there is some dispute about the factual accuracy of some of the book, but it's wildly entertaining nonetheless.
The Cuckoo's Egg: Tracking a Spy Through the Maze of Computer Espionage - Cliff Stoll
Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution - Steven Levy
Charles Proteus Steinmetz: The Electrical Wizard of Schenectady - Robert W. Bly
Time Reborn: From the Crisis in Physics to the Future of the Universe - Lee Smolin
The Trouble with Physics: The Rise of String Theory, the Fall of a Science, and What Comes Next - Lee Smolin
The Matrix and Philosophy: Welcome to the Desert of the Real - William Irwin
