Hii, I am trying to get into reading books but don’t know what to read. I like programming, tech, DIY stuff and science and would love to read about it.

Which book should I read that is not overwhelming for a begginer like me?

    A great book but I don’t know if I’d recommend it as a “get into reading” book.

      What makes you hesitant? I certainly wouldn’t recommend something like Snowcrash… but Neuromancer is exceedingly well written and concise.

        Huh, I’d go the opposite way.

        I think because there’s more for the reader to infer in Neuromancer, and getting those inferences affects enjoyment.

        Snow Crash is a bunch of episodes that add up to a story and even if your mind wandered for a few pages in the middle you’ll still be entertained by what’s on the page, and be able to follow the ending.
