The New Turing Omnibus

By A.K.Dewdney

A.K. Dewdney takes you on a tour of 66 essential topics in computer science, each presented as a short, self-contained chapter. From Turing machines and algorithms to fractals, neural networks, and computability, the book covers a remarkable breadth of ideas in an accessible and engaging way.

What makes this book special is its format. Each chapter is short enough to read in a single sitting, yet deep enough to give you a real understanding of the topic. It is an excellent book for engineers who want to fill gaps in their computer science foundations, or for anyone curious about the ideas that shaped modern computing. The perfect book to pick up, read a chapter, and think about for the rest of the day.
