Fiction

Thunderhead by Neal Shusterman. It's a sequel to Scythe, which was excellent. Several hundred years from now immortality is real, people continue to reproduce and even though the all-knowing and all-present computer system (known as the Thunderhead because it's a direct descendant of the Cloud) can manage things very well, there still needs to be a certain balance of deaths. That's laid out in Scythe. This follows, with the Thunderhead itself as a sort of narrator.

I'm also reading Who We Are and How We Got Here by David Reich, about human DNA. Absolutely fascinating. Modern technology and genomic research is utterly transforming what we know about our ancestry. If this doesn't hook you, nothing will: "A great surprise that emerges from the genome revolution is that in the relatively recent past, human populations were just as different from each other as they are today, but that the fault lines across populations were almost recognizably different from today."

I also just finished The Rise and Fall of Dinosaurs by Steve Brusatte. Another field in which modern technology has utterly transformed what we know.
