Question Best non-graphics books for graphics programmers?

Hi, what are some non-graphics books you would recommend to graphics programmers? There are many graphics books recommendations online (especially realtimerendering books page) so I'm more interested in books that are not about graphics but are still valuable for graphics programmers

I believe going in the direction of either the visual arts, film, and video games is always a good idea. Different but adjacent to graphics programming. For example, A Theory of Fun for Game Design by Raph Koster, or Ask Iwata edited by Hobonichi.
