What book would be relevant today for a high school student?

Over in r/OpenGL, r/GraphicsProgramming, r/gameenginedevs, I and most others recommend

There seem to be a ton of "build games in python" and stuff like that these days. I haven't read them in detail but I would send my kids in that direction.

It might not be the super low level stuff like the 90's books but you're making a more complicated and complete game using a higher level language and all the libraries etc that really didn't exist back then (at least like they do now)

Can you recommend libraries that would be really fast on something like Raspberry pi zero machine? Perhaps you can recommend some low-level books from those 90s?

I haven't used a Pi for this stuff but you could check back into the old Andre Lamothe books from the old days.
