Ask HN: Reading list for computing and mind topics(s)?
Hi all. The short of it is below are some fields/areas of which I (and I think, many others) am interested, read a lot of papers, follow news and peers, and do some work/experimentation, but through a weird turn of events am basically book-naïve.
Fields (+):
F-SwrD: Software (Virtual/Interaction) Design
F-SwrE: Software Engineering
F-Phi: Philosophy (Logic; Metaphysics; of Mind)
F-Bio: Bio/neuroscience
F-ArcD: Architectural Design
F-SocE: Social Organisation/Eng.
F-Cmp: Computing Science
Fields (-):
F-Inf: Information Science
F-IndD: Industrial Design
F-Psy: Psychology
F-Lng: Linguistics
F-ArtE: Artistic Engineering
(Note: Areas overlap each other and their containing fields; up for interpretation; rough organisation..)
Areas (+):
A-NatInt: Natural HCI (F-SwrD, F-SwrE, F-Psy, F-Bio, etc.)
A-Consc: Consciousness/"Hard Problem" (F-Phi, F-Bio, etc.)
A-Collab: Open Collaboration (F-SwrD, F-ArcD, F-SocE, F-Psy, etc.)
A-AugM: Aug. Mind (F-SwrD, F-Bio, F-SocE, F-Psy, etc.)
Areas (-):
A-Apps: App & System Arch. (F-SwrE, etc.)
A-MMap: Ident./Mind Mapping (F-SwrD, F-Bio, F-Psy, etc.)
A-Mem: Memory (F-Bio, F-Inf, etc.)
A-VisA: Visual/Decl. Abstractions (F-SwrD, F-SwrE, F-IndD, F-Phi, F-Psy, etc.)
A-Async: Async/Conc. Systems (F-SwrE, F-Cmp, etc.)
A-PortC: Portable Code/APIs (F-SwrE, F-Cmp, etc.)
A-VRAR: VR/AR (F-SwrD, F-SwrE, F-Cmp, etc.)
A-Sust: Sustainable Living (F-ArcD, F-SocE, etc.)
A-Cog: Mood/Cognition (F-Bio, F-Psy, etc.) Hit character limit, continued.. Any help gathering even just a few great reads on any (directly related; or thinking-shaping) would be greatly appreciated. I know there's some famous reading lists out there already that would cover many of these (feel free to pull from them, if vetted personally), like Alan Kay's (http://www.squeakland.org/resources/books/readingList.jsp) but I'd like recent (within a decade) books as well as historical, and for the recommendations to be target/purpose free (I think that Alan Kay one was for business students..).
