Hii, I am trying to get into reading books but don't know what to read. I like programming, tech, DIY stuff and science and would love to read about it.

Which book should I read that is not overwhelming for a begginer like me?

Edit: Thank you all for the wonderful suggestions :)

I don't really read much non-fiction, but if you want something entertaining and kinda sciencey look at the books "What if" and "How to" by the XKCD comic's author: https://what-if.xkcd.com/

    It ignores a couple of important facts about Futurama to make the point is trying to make through a lens of today, though.

    Ignoring the obvious "it's a cartoon" is that the ship in Futurama moves the universe around itself rather than moving through the universe. And the other being the article limits itself to today's technology, in general.
