    Culture & Empire: Digital Revolution and Social Architecture by Pieter Hintjens and probably Confession of a Necromancer. They overlap a little and the first one is from big part on privacy as well. You can get ebooks for free or buy them on Amazon.

    @Worldyn It's not about technical details, more about general approach to programing and problem solving and hugely about opensource and project governance, partially privacy and philosophy. There are books that will tech you how to do stuff one percent faster, these books that I recomended are not from this category. They show you that most of the time readable and maintainable beets performance in the long run and is worth focusing on.
