### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Very clear thinking on a hard subject
  

*by G***N on Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2018*

When I first read this little book a couple of years ago I thought that Subrata Dasgupta must be a genius to be able to see so clearly the essence of this strange science.  I especially was helped by his viewing programs as "liminal artefacts" (with both an abstract and a material face).  The recommendations for "Further Study" are mainly "classics" such as works by Donald Knuth, so you can see that this is not meant to be a pop level introduction to programming but an overview of a new science.  The book actually uses the word "wisdom" at one point in referring to the goal of this science of the liminal and it seems to me that it is best appreciated by anyone who wants a keener, and wiser, understanding of what "computer science" means.  I'm writing this review because I've started reading through the book for my second time and re-discovering that it's a great (little) book.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Good enough, but sometimes complicated
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2017*

The book presents a good overview of computer science, but some parts are hard to read for a novice. There are some valuable discussions at the beginning and, especially, at the end of the book, but a lot of complicated terminology in the middle.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Five Stars
  

*by B***I on Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2017*

Too much definition of terms and little useful information.
