[PS Just finished Lost and Wanted. A haunting novel, with physics. Recommended. The Analog series from Eliot Peper is simply terrific science fiction from the (very) near future–I loved all three. And Dare to Matter, from Jordan Kassalow, the founder of VisionSpring, is next up.]
George Dyson's book Analogia has been on this list before, but it's worth repeating. The same goes for The Gift by Lewis Hyde and the Bandwidth series by Eliot Peper.
