Art of War, it teaches about defeating your bosses.

start with an elementary school math text book to learn about +/-/*/% then read a comp sci 101 book.

Now you're ready to be employed as a full time java developer.

Comp sci 101 might be pushing it a bit. I don't think you need to go that far

You actually don't have to read a single book in order to understand programming and computers.

But if there were a book, it would be one that explained boolean logic, the science behind transistors, and the physics behind circuitry.

From description alone, it sounds fine, but I'm not sure if it's going to go below construction logic circuits; and honestly, at the level of logic circuits you already have a computer.

Unless you're interested in actually working with semiconductors themselves though, I don't think you really need to go lower than a basic understanding of transistor logic.

This is a good list, thanks anon and /sci/.

Seeing as the answer to anything book-related is always "start with the Greeks," I'd recommend A Brief History of Ancient Greece, then Bibliotheca by Apollodorus or Edith Hamilton's Mythology, followed by the Iliad, Odyssey, the Oedipus Plays of Sophocles, Hesiod and Theognis. After Odyssey, you can also read Herodotus's Histories, the First Philosophers and/or History of the Peloponnesian War, then the Plato and Aristotle anthologies.

You can't defeat your boss, unless he's a complete cuck. By virtue of being your boss he always has an advantage over you and if conflict arises, the most graceful solution is to quit on your own.
