Made me think of these, and then I remembered to spread the meme:

Systems Thinking, Jamshid Gharajedaghi

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/592861.Systems_Thinking

When I read it like a decade ago it was The Tome on complex systems. There might be more up to date stuff but I guarantee the ideas are still solid.

Black Swan, Nasim Taleb

Mentioned in the article. Despite the celebrity power behind the title has some solid ideas backed by fairly cold analysis.
