Hii, I am trying to get into reading books but don’t know what to read. I like programming, tech, DIY stuff and science and would love to read about it.
Which book should I read that is not overwhelming for a begginer like me?
Edit: Thank you all for the wonderful suggestions :)

Huh, I’d go the opposite way.
I think because there’s more for the reader to infer in Neuromancer, and getting those inferences affects enjoyment.
Snow Crash is a bunch of episodes that add up to a story and even if your mind wandered for a few pages in the middle you’ll still be entertained by what’s on the page, and be able to follow the ending.
Interesting, I see the logic in what you’re saying but I generally find it harder to carry through seemingly unrelated stories to a final conclusion. So I found Seveneves extremely readable but Cryptonomicon completely befuddled me.
