Mortal Dictata. It references a protocol for a code of ethics in the Halo Universe that prohibits flash cloning. The story was about one of the Spartans and how she was removed from her family and replaced by a clone that quickly died, as they all do. Her father became an insurrectionist and Kilo-5, of which this spartan is a member, has to stop him, and, of course, she has to face her origins. So there are a lot of moral dilemas in the book.

I read Benjamin Graham's The Intelligent Investor this year. It made the prospect of stock trading look pretty risky unless you really know a lot, and even then it's hard to predict. Super interesting book though. Written way back but still considered important today.
