I can think of no better person to ask than Alan Kay:

What are the best books relevant to programming that have nothing to do with programming? (e.g. How Buildings Learn, Living Systems, etc.)?




Lots ...

Molecular Biology of the Cell

Notes on a Synthesis of Form

etc


I for one would love to see the 'etc' expanded, but in any case I do appreciate you taking the time to respond. Thanks!


There is a very old reading list online I made for the company that is now Accenture -- and this was the subject of a recent HN "gig". I think there is a URL for this discussion in this AMA.


It's at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11803165.


I'm intersted in this question as well. I'd like to contribute to your e.g: Ant Encounters by Deborah M. Gordon.
