Normal Accidents
Another opportunity to plug this 30+ year old book about large scale system accidents (nuclear plants, air crashes, Apollo 13, oil tankers, etc) which, although computers aren't the focus of the book, taught me more about stability, reliability and security than many books supposedly on those topics. Pick up a copy from Abe Books or your favourite non-Amazon supplier today, you won't regret it.
