If there isn't already one, can we compile a reading list that covers subjects ranging from the basic idea of biohacking to tech, techniques, and sciences that some of us may not have gone to school for?

   An anatomy textbook would be good.
   
   Last's Anatomy (9th ed) is what I'd recommend given that's what is used to set the surgical exam.That though will need to be combined with a more visual textbook - Rohen I heard is good. I use Netter though, which while got pretty pictures isn't quite the same as cadavar photos.

   Dr sleepless needs to be on this list, since you know, it's where the name grinder comes from after all.

   
   

   The cyborg manifesto is pretty alright also
