Ask HN: Best non-academic algorithms book?

This is a bit vague, but here are some suggestions

Algorithms to live by Brian Christian https://www.amazon.ca/Algorithms-Live-Computer-Science-Decis...

Bad Choices: How Algorithms Can Help You Think Smarter and Live Happier by Ali Almossawi https://www.amazon.ca/Bad-Choices-Algorithms-Smarter-Happier...

What would you like the book to cover? The daily driver algorithms and ten thousand pieces of trivia that working programmers keep in their minds, i.e. a non-academic book for working programmers? Breadth-first search, topological sort, the dozen different ways of implementing a hash map, stuff with strings, etc?

Or a work of popular science? Describing the few big algorithms that receive a disproportionate amount of attention? FFT, RSA, backpropagation, divide-and-conquer matrix multiplication, quicksort, simplex, and the like?

Data Structures and Algorithms with JavaScript (http://amzn.to/2vDDbHQ) is a really excellent book, even if you're not using JavaScript for anything (I wasn't when I first read it, and still found it immensely helpful).

I haven't read it but Grokking Algorithms is well reviewed.
