the best computer book I ever got was some oddball thing published in the 80s called "the magic machine" that taught you how to be a "mathemagician"

it went through all kinds of programs to generate fractals and poo poo.

this book is excellent. It's a detailed history of the atari 2600 which goes deep into the evolution of programming techniques throughout the consoles lifetime. fascinating stuff

every fucker in here posting their university textbooks needs to branch out. Oh yeah, I TOTALLY enjoyed the operating systems dinosaur book, unlike everyone else in my class who skimmed it and just read the loving lecture slides, I found the dense info dumps and characteristically disorganized committee writing fascinating. I'm smart and def have read a book since graduation.

Hell yes. I love reading a sequential detailing of the canonical algorithms they drum into you at school. Almost as good as my other favourite book "Mathematics 2C: Foundations". Definitely a personal favourite of mine, great for fireside reading.
