The title is a bit broader than the question you post. There are many meta books about art that have openend my eyes in my creative thinking. The first time would be a simple analysis about the StarWars movies, the simple depiction of black and white being the good and evil that struggle and the ying and jang that keep balance to 'the force'. Beforehand I just thought of it as a cool space story and never given a thought about the deeper meanings of the choices made, though good is white, evil is black is not a really deeper meaning, but deeper than I have thought of it beforehand.
I love the way filmmakers work and look at movies in a total different way than my wife, who just watches it for the story itself, not for how it is told. It is hard to find movies we both like sometimes
For technology and to answer your question, I have never read work that has made me think different, it is mostly watching documentaries, hearing the people speak out their ideas, there are a lot of things that tingle my interest. The whole coming of the internet and hopping on its bandwagon and still riding it has done me well, bitcoin has the same feel. Though I am less involved in developing for bitcoin like I am for the internet.
