So, I highly recommend reading the following:
Larry Hannigan: "I Want the Earth Plus 5%"
Eric Frank Russell: "And Then There Were None"
Dmitry Nevedimov: "The Religion of Money"
Roger Ver: "Hijacking Bitcoin"
Simon Singh: "The Code Book: The Science of Secrecy from Ancient Egypt to Quantum Cryptography"

Reading list will be expanded over time
