More than anything save perhaps "WarGames", this book changed my life and set it off on its current direction. A great, great classic. Full text is available here.

Great book about stuff I have never touched.

My copy was extremely worn! Notes all through it and lots of book marks. This was a very thorough reference book at the time.
