Funny you should say that about Wired. The last issue (16.07) was so interesting I ended up buying a few copies to pass around so as not to circulate my copy! I also stumbled upon this Wired creative director interview which I thought was interesting:
Great list! I've only read Super Crunchers, and while it was a bit dry in places, it was a great read overall.
I agree about Wired too...loving it lately!

I agree about Wired, it's still putting out some quality material. It's one of the few sites I read often outside of RSS.
For books I'm reading Innovators Dilemma and Agile Software Development with Scrum, both highly recommended.
Might pick up Little Brother at some point but my amazon list is full of non-fiction.

I'd recommend Hochschild's "Bury the Chains", which tells the story of the campaign to end slavery in the British Empire. As people are starting to point out, slavery was to those times what oil is to ours: economically vital, but morally repugnant. There are a lot of lessons in it for people who want to stop C-61, bring real change to Africa, or fight global warming.

I moved up to Toronto from Boston where I had been for many years and I agree that there is not as much a sense of community within the tech sector. I don't know if this is because it is a bigger city of if people here are more skeptical/reserved about networking, but I do notice a difference.
On the other hand, I find a great community in the neighbourhood where I run a contemporary art gallery (I have two lives - tech and art), so not sure how to explain the disconnect in the tech sector.
Would love to do something about it if there is anything I can contribute to.

Thanks for the list! I already have a few of these on hand to read, as well as Rohit Bhargava's Personality Not Included.
Cheers,

Yes, I am loving Wired (this month!).
