Hii, I am trying to get into reading books but don't know what to read. I like programming, tech, DIY stuff and science and would love to read about it.

Which book should I read that is not overwhelming for a begginer like me?

The Diamond Age by Neal Stephenson. It's a bit coming-of-age but it's lite, interesting, tech sci-fi.

Only other i read that is close is the Foundation series by Isaac Asimov.
