Essential readings for Tech investing?

Hey all! Hoping to leverage the collective wisdom of tech investors in the WSO community (especially software). 
 

I’ll be working in tech investing down the line, (larger growth equity / MM / UMM PE shop), and while I’ve done a little bit of work in the space I’m still a relative rookie and would love to get a bit more familiar with industry dynamics and some of the more technical elements that’ll help me get up to speed. 
 

For anyone here working in tech investing, are there any must reads? Books, etc, and any other suggestions are all welcome!
