I'd swear by Anthony Gidden's "The Constitution of Society" but there are a fuckton of good sociology books.
You may dig into the sociological tradition of the University of Chicago, e.g. Robert Ezra Park, Erving Goffman, Howard S. Becker, etc.
Obviously, read Karl Marx and Maximilien Rubel, who edited Marx's works at La Pléiade, because there's so much to say about this.
You may also dig into the Institut für Socialforschung, aka. the school of Frankfurt: Horkheimer, Adorno, Benjamin, etc.
Read about Darwin, biology, and the DNA reproduction because we're copies of why we're here, e.g. how we evolved to get there. It contains pretty good explanations of why people kill themselves, for example. You can't really understand humans if you do the mistake of believing there are superior or inferior humans, because mathematically we're all worth the same exact thing. We can't judge someone for their actions because they all result of their passive empiricism, at some point, so people just all deserve shared happiness and having a "real consciousness", e.g. knowing themselves and the relations of production.
And try to have a decent level in mathematics. I mean that as a cyberspace citizen you've got all the time to learn what's a derivative, what's an integer, and have the level of France's preparative classes edgyness.
Install FreeBSD and get good with its cli; pirate FLAC music and get into public (or optionally private) trackers because that's how you'll get music tastes.
