Hii, I am trying to get into reading books but don't know what to read. I like programming, tech, DIY stuff and science and would love to read about it.

Which book should I read that is not overwhelming for a begginer like me?

Edit: Thank you all for the wonderful suggestions :)

Oh yeah, books first then the Netflix series afterwards. I think the show does a lot to expand the world of the books while not compromising its overall story and message. But you gotta read the books first.
