   I would say the most important thing is to stimulate your thinking in different ways, here are a few books that might help in that regard-

   Technomanifestos: Visions from the Information Revolutionaries by Adam Brate

   Godel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid by Douglas Hofstadter

   A Thousand Years of Nonlinear History by Manuel De Landa

   Follow for Now: Interviews with Friends and Heroes edited by Roy Christopher

   I would also recommend reading the works of Ted Nelson and Buckminster Fuller, as well as some fiction by Neal Stephenson, Robert Anton Wilson and other SF authors.
