One of the most humbling books I have ever read is Wetware by Dennis Bray. There is an unbelievable richness when it comes to computation and storage/transport of information in biological organisms and cells that are simply unparalleled.
I feel this is especially relevant given that we are (again) living in times where people talk a lot about the 'intelligence' or power of contemporary learning machines.
