Are you asking for literature recs based on your field or textbooks?
If textbooks, stop by /sci/ for some help.

Jacques Ellul, The Technological Society
Martin Heidegger, The Question Concerning Technology
Herbert Marcuse, One-Dimensional Man

I'm looking more for literature, not textbooks.
I wanna read an interesting related to the subject.

>do what everybody else does
>it's a news-worthy accomplishment
Progressive racism in action, everybody.

Read an introductory classical mechanics textbook in addition to whatever retarded shit they give you for your first physics class
Every single year I hear dozens of engineering freshmen act like Physics I is the most tremendously difficult thing they've dealt with in their entire lives while they fucking draw free-body diagrams
If you're going to Georgia Tech let's be friends

Thanks for the advice, except for the last one they seem quite interesting

I live in London, and I am a white immigrant from Eastern Europe. When I went through the latter years of secondary school, I would get in trouble for responding to black people calling me a dirty immigrant by calling them niggers. Fun times :)

Wish I could study in the US but I doubt I'll be able to since I live in the UK. The farthest I'd study is somewhere else in Europe, I don't wanna be a leech to my parents and ask them to pay for my university

Read Frisch's Homo faber. Very good and interesting book on the engineer mindset.

I also have a Romanian acquaintance who got shit on at a college for being white in the US, rip pui de daci

That's a really cleverly made and well-done picture

I wanna get all these books now.
Rip my wallet.
Also, let's just say I may or may not know shit about physics, and I'll be getting into mechanical engineering in a year based on my merit in mathematics.
Should I just get a physics textbook and try and learn from it.
Btw, first time I've ever made a thread on /lit/ and you guys are pretty cool compared to other non-shitposting boards

For an 11 year old to do it is actually quite impressive. Not news-worthy, but impressive.
Stop being a sad racist idiot

>just let the boy have his cake
Way to keep dumbing people down instead of demanding their excellence. Racism in action.
