What kind of tech fiction for teens to read?

I have a 12 year old nephew. And he doesn’t read at all, except from under pressure only what is taught at school in literature. He says he's not interested in reading at all. The reading experience is very small.
But he is interested in robots in particular and technology in general. He just thinks about them for hours and can tell and do a lot (he is friends with a soldering iron).
I would like, using his interests in technology, to develop a love of reading. Can you please tell me some fascinating art works about technology that are available at this age.
PS While writing, I remembered that I read with pleasure "And I was in a computer city."

Well, at his age I read Vern, Asimov and Lem, but apparently this is not the case :)

I saw the headline immediately thought about "And I was in a computer city" =)
Let him try "Artemis Fowl" by Eon Colfer
Even at that age I read "World of Death", "Steel Rat" by Harry Harrison, Andre Norton "Queen of the Sun"
Still cool, but the truth from pure fantasy is Sadov's "Knight of the Order"
I think that's enough, there it will either drag on or not.

Show him Habrahabr.
It's time to come to terms with the fact that the current generation has to give up books, because of the huge amount of information they have to filter.
To develop the reading experience, films/cartoons with subtitles can be offered as a last resort.

I can advise Lukyanenko, a cycle about Depth - (Labyrinth of reflections, False mirrors, Transparent stained-glass windows)
