Read about (un)reliability

My bread and butter

I am collecting books of different sorts on the topics related (in my humble opinion) to (un)reliability of complex systems, outcomes of that, and ways to work with it. Some of them I did even read (in cursive), most of them are non-fiction books totally approachable by anyone interested on the topic. List is in progress so if you have a book recommendation, just shoot me an email or add me on LinkedIn.
