>For several years now (maybe even longer :)) I completely cannot motivate myself to read technical books.
>I read tons of non-technical: biographies, thrillers, romance novels, non-fiction, etc. etc. But I can't make myself read technical stuff.

Times have changed. Yes, you are right about the technical aspect which is geared towards accessing online content.

What I just completed is a book which ties between technical and human values. I have found out, due to the impact of the digital era on humans relational values, that there was an interest into that topic. I think we might see more of that for years to come. It is mostly on how humans behave towards technology, the butterfly effect, Internet and smartphones giants, and things like that.

I think, as actors of the technological era, we all have the opportunity to contribute to restore some kind of a balance so the next generation would have something better to rely on.
