Brian Kernighan 
Understanding the Digital World: What You Need to Know
about Computers, the Internet, Privacy, and Security
explains how computer hardware, software, networks, and systems work.
It includes enough detail that you can understand how these systems
work, no matter what your technical background. The social,
political and legal issues that new technology creates are discussed as
well, so you can understand the difficult issues we face and appreciate
the tradeoffs that have to be made to resolve them.
