According to my daughter I'm "in love with books".

I read a lot of Nonfiction books related to Cyber Security, Organizational Development, and Software Development in general. I'm interested in the human side of technology.

It's hard to imagine that i will tag a better non-fiction book this year.

Highly recommended
