We're creating a small library at the OLPC offices, to contain mostly technology, tech/society convergence, and CS/SWE-related books. What should we have? Note that the core team members doing development already own and/or have read (often many times) what are considered the software classics (Knuth, K&R, and similar). We're looking for current stuff.
Please add anything that's missing to the 'Proposed' section.
