Also, Al Sweigart makes available many of his books for free on his website, including "Automate the Boring Stuff with Python", which also has a lot of good reviews on Amazon.

I just bought https://www.nostarch.com/Rust and https://www.nostarch.com/seriouscrypto Both are early-release, but look good from the sample chapters provided.

Serious Cryptography by JP Aumasson is the one I picked up first (it is still early access but you will get the finished version when done.)

I just finished Hardware Hacker by Andrew “bunnie” Huang, and I'd highly recommend it. Completely changed my perspective on hardware production, and China's role in relation to it. And for fun he delves a bit into biohacking and how it's related to computers. I think the HN crowd would be into it.

"The Art of R Programming" is very good.

I liked Learn You A Haskell For Great Good, but it's available free from the author online.
