Code: The Hidden Language of Computer Hardware and Software by Charles Petzold

5.0

Basically a better version of my computer architecture class from undergrad… extremely thorough, easy to understand, a great resource for everyone interested, imo. Not exactly a breeze to read through any technical book, but this was still pretty good. Learned half way through that it came out in 2000ish so it was also a cool artifact to see what the author mentioned about modern computing and predicted for the future. Additionally learned that the author wrote the OG programming windows book and is a total legend. Very cool
