While reading the post, "The Domain-Driven Design Paradox" (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13520209), I was reminded of a book that I enjoyed as a kid, called
The Paradoxicon [1] by Nicholas Falletta. This was where I learned about the works of M.C. Escher and Moebius strips. I didn't originally own this book; instead, I had checked it out from the library. I eventually bought the book in college out of nostalgia and was hoping to thumb through it again after reading the article above, only to realize it was not on my bookshelf. I was considering buying it again and was reminded of all the other technical books that were influential to me as I was growing. What technical books did you love as you grew up? Bonus points if you have the title as an adult. Even more points if it is the same book that you grew up with.

Probably the single most influential on my technical education. Each page made me feel like I was inside the machines.
