Recommend books that give you an interesting and captivating introduction into a field, Like Psychology 101, Design 101, physics 101, biology 101,econ,etc.
Bonus points if they awoke inside of you a deep passion for a field of study.

The Case of the Speluncean Explorers: Nine New Opinions by Peter Suber. Very short but extremely interesting introduction to Philosophy of Law and I think law itself. Not sure, I'm a layman, my brother-in-law recommended it to me and I really liked it. Honestly, made me want to read Kant, and I'm a "math person", so that is quite a feat.

Ah, OP asks for general topics and gets ass end drivel, as usual for 4chan. And here come the narrow crank responses. Thanks for nothing, you dinks.

The 101 and the 999, really the only textbook you will ever need on the subject, you can just start reading papers afterwards.

Code: The Hidden Language of Computer Hardware and Software gives a legit explanation of how computers work. Wish someone had told me about it in high school
