My 2023 Tech books Reading List

Technology plays a major role in many aspects of our daily lives. It has revolutionized the way we communicate, work, and live. It has made many tasks easier, faster, and more efficient, and has opened up new opportunities and possibilities.

One of the main reasons why technology is important is that it allows us to stay connected with the world around us. Through the use of smartphones, laptops, and other devices, we can access information, communicate with others, and stay up to date with the latest news and events. This has made it easier for people to stay in touch with their friends and family, and to stay informed about what is happening in the world.

But there are also downsides to technology. Below is my top 2023 tech books reading list.
