I've been reading Nick Lane's "Life Ascending: The Ten Great Inventions of Evolution" since I have a large lacking of knowledge in biology and evolution and it was recommended to me. I would recommend the book to people like me, who don't have systematic knowledge in biology and want to learn some cool tidbits, particularly about early life. Non-rigorous. Easy-to-read.
Having now finished the book, I would like to add that the last chapter "Death" serves as a good introduction to research into life- and health-extending tech from the point of view of evolution. The author is quite optimistic that rapid progress is possible and just on the horizon if we concentrate on it.
