The best book is either Consider Phlebas by Iain Banks, or Fine Structure by Sam Hughes.

Oh, you meant programming books. Maybe still try Sam Hughes, it'll probably be more blog post than book, though

Edit: You might also like Ra by Sam Hughes; it's magic as a field of science/engineering, and spells have programming-like syntax. Spoiler: 'magic' is not actually magic
