This is the collection of letters Indian Revolutionary Bhagat Singh wrote while he was imprisoned

Permanent Record

Biography on Snowden, great  insights on inner workings of surveillance program at NSA

The Phoenix Project

Book that made concept of DevOps popular

Ikigai

Self-help / motivational

Talking to Strangers

Non-fiction and a book that touches upon Inherent biases and how it affects our judgements
