Two very different suggestions I've enjoyed recently:
The Ape That Understood The Universe by Steve Stewart-Williams
View attachment 12038
A very accessible read into a complex topic - human evolution physically, psychologically, and culturally. It would never have occurred to me that our cultures, languages, religions and politics could come about in the same way as our bodies and our behaviours did. It admits to being a little controversial in certain academic quarters.
Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton

Needs little introduction. I recently chucked it in my bag last minute as a holiday read having not read it for several years, and had forgotten how bloody good it is. And despite being written in the early 90s it makes points that feel potentially relevant to today's innovations. Worth revisiting I'd say.
