Dreaming in Code isn't really about the act of programming though. It's a chronicling of how a project, and business, failed.

But I do recommend it too. It's a really good and interesting read. And for the younger people it's also a nice dip in the history of software development in late 90s/early 2000.

Ah, but it is about programming, specifically how unpredictable programming is. It's helped me time and again with checking my assumptions and cognitive biases as a software developer.
