There's no central theme, but it turned out that there were a lot of books dealing with themes of computer and human intelligence. There was also a lot of just plain good reading and a handful of crazy crackpot tinfoil hat thrown in for good measure.
The Stephenson novels were re-reads of two of my all time favorite books. I'd love to work on a project to make something like the Young Lady's Illustrated Primer.
