Consider The Selfish Gene by Richard Dawkins. Recommended by 32 sources.
“Dawkins delivers evolution as you've never seen it—genes as calculating strategists, organisms as disposable vehicles. The prose is lucid and urgent, building a case that feels both electrifying and claustrophobic. Most useful: the vivid logic of kin selection and the birth of the meme concept. Limitation: the relentless certainty can wear you down, and some analogies strain under pressure. You'll likely emerge with a sharper worldview, though maybe a bit resentful of being so thoroughly cornered.”
