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

4.0

1st edition, 5 stars read late 1999 / early 2000 (?)

2nd edition read 2023. Some areas expanded and improved; however, a lot of sections get bogged down in too much detail for my liking.

Overall, this book does a great job of explaining how computers perform functions and store information at a very fundamental level and starting from absolute basics.
