“Dr Fox has cleverly crafted a captivating journey through computer architectures bringing to life what it is to be a computer. An indispensable guide from fundamental concepts to future architectures touching on everything in between. With clear concepts and examples alongside a beginner-friendly style, this book is a wonderful example of what a computer architecture textbook should be. This belongs on every computer science student’s desk, during and for many years after their studies. Not only highly recommended, but indispensable."" —Garry Clawson, PhD student, University of Cambridge ""I really enjoyed reading this textbook. That's not something I've ever written after reading a technical book, but Charles Fox writes with a style that is both conversational and invitational that kept me reading. . . . [A]ny programmer who wants a better understanding of the systems she is using would find her time well spent reading this book."" —Rik Farrow, Usenix
