What people on Hacker News said
Silent Spring by Rachel Carson. It's been on my list of books to read for ages and it is in fact excellent, if difficult.
So far? It could be (read: is) recency bias, but I recently finished Silent Spring by Rachel Carson and found it fascinating and relevant, although some of the one-off science facts are outdated.
Another vote for Silent Spring here. One of those books that stay with you.
