I read this book years ago in a Barnes and Noble, almost cover to cover in an afternoon. Don't know WHY I didn't purchase it then. A few months later it was gone, they couldn't order it and I could only find the "Collector's" scalper fee online.
I like this book because it's a good educational book in how to think. The writer was essentially trying to teach his skills to MIT students who mostly came in to class on the cutting edge, how to teach anything. I take the lesson of his computer (a difference engine, btw) as an education that all computers no matter how you make them/what you use are a collection of switches and it's a matter of representing what the problem is then transferring the changes and decoding the results that produces the desired effects.
