Publisher's Note
Most people are baffled by how computers work and assume any understanding of them is beyond their grasp. What they don't realize is that the computer's complex operations can be broken down into a few simple parts performing simple procedures over and over. In this welcome volume, computer wizard Daniel Hillis offers an easy-to-follow clarification of data processing that makes the computer seem as basic as a bicycle. Avoiding technobabble or discussion of advanced hardware, the book's lucid explanations and colorful anecdotes get right down to what computers are really about. Hillis proceeds from a rundown of basic logic to clear descriptions of what programming languages, algorithms, and memory are. Then he takes readers in easy steps up to the most exciting developments in computing today -- quantum computing, parallel computing, neural networks, and self-organizing systems.
