As a programming student i feel sometimes we go a bit too technical and we lose the philosophy and the main point of what we are doing.

What are some great books (classics and none) to read on programming?

I'm interested to the topic of programming and computer science in general but especially to the cypherpunk philosophy and to concepts like the story of internet, the philosophy that led to the beginning of it etc..

A declaration of independence of cyberspace by John Perry Barlowe

Not really related to political philosophy but Uncle Bob's book on the philosophy of a good programmer also comes to mind: Clean Coder
