A few suggestions for anyone having trouble finding something from Downpour.

This time I got Data and Goliath: The Hidden Battles to Capture Your Data and Control Your World by Bruce Schneier

Bruce Schneier is a cryptography and computer security expert. He wrote the textbooks I used in my college crypto classes, but he also writes books for non-geeks on computer security's impacts on society. Good stuff!

Data is everywhere: we create it every time we go online, turn our phone on or off, and pay with a credit card. The data is stored, studied, and bought and sold by corporations and governments for surveillance and for control.
Bestselling author Bruce Schneier shows how this data has led to a double-edged Internet—a web that gives power to the people but is abused by the institutions on which those people depend. In Data and Goliath, Schneier reveals the full extent of surveillance, censorship, and propaganda in society today, examining the risks of cybercrime, cyberterrorism, and cyberwar. He shares technological, legal, and social solutions that can help shape a more equal, private, and secure world. This is a book everyone with an Internet connection—or bank account or smart device or car, for that matter—needs to read.

I also have Ringworld by Larry Niven. They have a number of his books.

Back when Downpour opened, I got Elantris by Brandon Sanderson

and the Malcolm Gladwell Box Set, but it's 2 credits now. They do have other titles by him.
