This is an amazing book. Hard to describe, and maybe not even all that interesting sounding if you managed to describe it accurately, it’s actually fascinating.
If you don’t know much about hardware (and maybe even if you do) it’ll change the way you think about computing devices.
You hear people say "Computers are all just 0's and 1's", which when you sit down at a modern computer interface is virtually meaningless. In an accurate, but still comprehensible way, 'Code' takes you from the AND's and XOR's and 0's and 1's to the experience you know from a modern computer interface. It is a brilliant book.
