Another interesting one is Diamond Age (aka A Young Lady's Illustrated Primer). Pretty interesting book that introduces a lot of CS concepts (although also explicitly mentions CS).
I thought immediately of that book as well. In fact, the "primer" referenced in the title is a book written for a little girl, and the man (uncle? grandfather?) who commissions the book tries to get the would-be author to consider what it means to be "subversive". This reminds me very much of the book in the summary... it is... subversive. (Maybe)
