In addition to all the other recommendations, I recommend Blindsight. You can buy it where all good books are sold, or the author also gives it away on his website ( [LINK] ) but considers it good form to send a donation his way if you enjoy it. Some fans of the book put together a short teaser trailer for it: [VIDEO]

[VIDEO] This is notably also adored by Watts [LINK] In case you want to fall down into the rabbit hole then [LINK] Now I just wish that some serious producer like Nolan would get a hint.
