"Where is My Flying Car" is very good. The author is a bit overoptimistic IMO in his assessment of technological capabilities, but it has a great overview of attempted aviation innovations that I've never seen anywhere else.

There is a different book also called "The Big Score"[0] (not the one put out by Stripe Press), that is about a mining billionaire, Robert Friedland. He was Steve Jobs' roommate in college, it's alleged that some of Friedland's charisma rubbed off on Jobs. Interesting book for people who want to read about how startups work in the mining industry.
