Best technology books 2018

in #books6 years ago

Technology is the most disruptive area of industry - currently shaping the world as we know it and carving the path for the future.

Here, we list some of the most recent groundbreaking tech tomes for you to get your teeth into.

Microsoft CEO and self-confessed cricket obsessive Satya Nadella launched his part-polemical, part-autobiographical book Hit Refresh in 2017.

Coauthored with former Microsoft employee Jill Tracie Nichols, the Hyderabad-born CEO charts his time growing up, moving to America, his family life and his rise to CEO at Microsoft, with various philosophical and political musings tied in along the way.

Although Nadella ignores some of the most pressing concerns of the 21st century (disaster capitalism – he doesn't want to talk about it, he writes) and comes across as technocrat (he is the CEO of Microsoft, after all), the book nevertheless became a New York Times bestseller and manages to carry a certain candid warmth.
