@neauoire I collect quirky computing books. These seem more or less like what you're going for:
From Baker Street to Binary
Elementary Basic/Elementary Pascal
Why's poignant guide to Ruby
If Hemingway wrote JavaScript
Day of Code
Karel the robot
Secret Coders

@neauoire depending on how much you want to stretch the concept, I might add:
Hitchhikers guide to VMS
To mock a mockingbird
Gödel Escher Bach

@nuxi yes, those are definitely in line, I had Smullyan's on my list already :)

@neauoire of course there's any number of programming games. Stuff like tis-100 or bitburner are by nature immersive.

@nuxi which are some of your highlights that might qualify as general purpose computing?

@neauoire probably:
