Oh wow, thank you for this! I have been fascinated by Information Theory for quite some while now, so I hope David McKay's book is a good introduction to it.

One of my personal favourite in Philosophy is "Finite and Infinite Games" by James P Carse. It had a profound impact on how I look at situations. I hope one of your suggestions does the same :)

Fair warning: I don't think either of the philosophy books I mentioned is likely to scratch the same sort of itch as Carse's book.
