 * The Human Face of Big Data **

(submitted by Sandra Stark)
 * P.W Singer and Allan Friedman**
 * Cybersecurity and Cyberwar** OSBM 978-0-19-991911. Written for the educated public. Part I-How It All Works is a great, readable introduction to all aspects of the internet. The next two sections deal with crime and war but in a thoughtful way unlike most media which hypes everything. Segments could be used independently. The book is a compendium of good examples of how to develop an argument using reasons and evidence. Great for teachng students how to write logically and with substance.


 * Singer.**
 * Wired for War. I**SBN 978-1-59420-198-1 Published in 2009 but the short segment on robots for dummies is great. The whole book is fascinating. The ISBN is for the hardcover, but it's out in paperback.


 * Kevin Warwick**
 * Artificial Intelligence,** the Basics ISBN 978-0-415-56483-0, also available as an ebook. A bit dry, but very clear and up-to-date. Excellent for HL. (submitted by Sandra Stark)

** Both ITGS and Computer Science **

 * Vikram Chandra**
 * Geek Sublime: The Beauty of Code, the Code of Beauty** ISBN 978-1-55597-685-9. Wow. Combines coding, Sanskrit, Indian literary theory, autobiography, history. Worth it for chapter 3: The Language of Logic. Brilliant, entertaining, rhapsodic explanation of how computers work, Boolean logic and binary numbers. And the chapter is short. (submitted by Sandra Stark)


 * John MacCormick**
 * Nine Algorithms That Changed the Future** ISBN 978-0-691-14714-7. Also available in paperback. Again, written for the education public. Great on public-key encryption (Bob and Arnold instead of Bob and Alice, but c'est la vie), databases, and much more. (submitted by Sandra Stark)



** Computer Science **

 * Jeremy Kubica**
 * Computational Fairy Tales and Best Practices of Spell Design** He turns fundamental concepts into stories. If I were teaching coding, I'd have classroom sets and ask the students to write their own stories Start with his website:[| http://computationaltales.blogspot.com] (submitted by Sandra Stark)
