Database Nation by Simson Garfinkel
Another in the technology is making the world come to an end series. And still a must-read.

The Electronic Day Trader by Marc Friedfertig
About 20 years ago I read a book (the title and author are lost, but this was written about 50 years ago) about craps. There were two memorable items: (1) The appendix was full of lists of actual dice rolls, thousands of them. (2) The quote: "Pay no attention to so-called hot or cold runs of the dice, except to take advantage of each."

The Cluetrain Manifesto by Christopher Locke, Rick Levine, Doc Searls, David Weinberger
Better as a website than as a book, this is still a must read. (Of course, you'll get the message after the first couple repetitions, but still a must read.) OTOH, while I think Weinberger brilliant, I must confess to never quite getting the hang of JOHO.)

The End of Patience by David Shenk.
If you think your T1 connection isn't fast enough, this book is the perfect antidote.
