when I was a kid my parents had this book about computers. it explained all you need to know, like the how the cpu connects to the other parts of the computer through the bus, how the performance of processors goes Pentium Pro > Pentium 2(?) > 486 > 386, how the universal serial bus and sata were cool and good. stuff like that. best part, it had pictures, with little anthropomorphic floppy disk dudes! cant remember what it was called but I loved that book

e: also had software stuff. it explained that windows 3.1 and 95 were based on dos but the new windows nt was not based on dos, and practical stuff like spreadsheets and word processors. all around a good book for a middle-class adult new to this whole computer thing, like my mom
