Nine minutes to bedtime, just enough for a parting shot:
If you want to be a great geek, or better still a great coach or mentor or leader of geeks, lay off the geek books or -- heaven forfend -- the management books.
Read narrative history, and novels.
Why? Because what geeks do for a living, and what coaches and mentors and leaders do for a living, is change. And all narrative history and all novels are about change.
