In its structure and the areas it covers, it is a peculiar book for sure. Like classical philosophical works, this is a book arching over several subjects and is quite technical in nature.

Firstly, I think, it has a fantastic chapter on how computer works. To understand the computer and its true power— this is a very good starting point.

This leads to the question of what the computer can't/shouldn't do for us, where we are better on our own. He stretched our common (often lethal) understanding and reliance on computers.
