I'm a stemfag with way too much time on my hands, so I've recently started reading philosophy to make myself believe I'm trying to become a better person. My question is: are there any philosophers whose work is particularly relevant in making someone a better engineer? If you could force all engineers to have read a few books, what would they be? Doesn't have to be essays; fiction is welcome too.
(Something along the lines of Gilbert Simondon's "Du Mode d'existence des Objets Techniques" , for the eventual french guy browsing here...)
Bonus Points if it impresses the /lit/ girls from Nanterre and the Sorbonne that I see in bars.

Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance sounds should be exactly what you're looking for. Entry level, fun, easy to read, sections that directly consider the engineering mindset.
