The best books I would recommend are;

— The Master Algorithm by Pedro Domingos

— The Book of Why by Judea Pearl

— What Computers Still Can't Do by Hubert L. Dreyfus

— Society of Mind & The Emotion Machine by Marvin Minsky

— The Feeling Of What Happens by Antonio Damasio

— Language & Mind by Noam Chomsky

— A great mooc is also, the "Learning From Data" Telecourse from Caltech https://work.caltech.edu/telecourse

The authors are discussing topics I regard as important that very few people are working on.
