Pattern on the Stone
Most people are baffled by how computers work and assume that they will never understand them. Computer wizard Hillis offers an easy-to-follow explanation of how data is processed that makes the operations of a computer seem as straightforward as those of a bicycle.Avoiding technobabble or discussions of advanced hardware, the lucid explanations and colorful anecdotes in The Pattern on the Stone go straight to the heart of what computers really do. What they don't realize--and what Daniel Hillis's short book brilliantly demonstrates--is that computers' seemingly complex operations can be broken down into a few simple parts that perform the same simple procedures over and over again.
He then takes readers in simple steps up to the most exciting developments in Hillis proceeds from an outline of basic logic to clear descriptions of programming languages, algorithms, and memory.
