I read this book when I was a teenager and it made me want to learn

Linux webserver security as a career. Go figure.
Any other books, required reading for geeks, anyone can recommend?
If you're looking for fiction...For the video game geeks or really anyone who grew up in the 80s, Ready Player One was awesome.
It's been years since I read it, but I remember enjoying Digital Fortress. Not quite the level of technical accuracy of Cuckoo's Egg, but fun if you can suspend disbelief on some of the tech (the description about visualizing hackers trying to get into a system was comical).
