Data and Goliath - Bruce Schneier (very good, preaching to the choir in my case though)
Dune - Frank Herbert (been waiting more than 20 years to read this. If you haven't seen the movie from 2001 highly recommended, else not)
The Psychopath Code - Pieter Hintjens (psychology book, highly recommended, allowed me to understand a whole lot more of the "toxicity" in society)
Python for Informatics - Charles Severance (too easy for crowd here, and for me, but quite good for newbie programmers. Note: Python 2.x; not 3.x!)
Ghost in the Wires - Kevin Mitnick and William L. Simon (good humor, great suspense, likeable main character)
Kingpin - Kevin Poulsen (a less likeable main character but nevertheless suspenseful)
And a bunch of cookbooks which I won't bother you with, I didn't fully complete any of them either.
I'm very happy that all the books I read were a hit, but did not read nearly as many as I wanted to. To restate, I can recommend all of the above. But they're not all new from 2016 (if that was the intention I apologise).
