为什么值得读
- 从木棍与石子出发解释计算机底层工作原理
- 短短两百页内贯穿布尔逻辑图灵机与量子计算
- 超级计算机设计师执笔，比 Code 更紧凑
Daniel Hillis对数据处理的原理进行了通俗易懂的阐述，使得计算机的运作机制看起来就像自行车的原理一样简单明了。Hillis从基础逻辑的概述入手，继而清晰地介绍了编程语言、算法与内存。随后，他带领读者循序渐进地接触当今计算领域最令人兴奋的发展前沿——量子计算、并行计算、神经网络以及自组织系统。

Danny Hillis 写的《The Pattern on the Stone》（https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pattern_on_the_Stone），还有 Melanie Mitchell 写的《Complexity: A Guided Tour》（https://melaniemitchell.me/BooksContent/CAGTReviews.html）

Danny “Connection Machine” Hillis 的《The Pattern On The Stone: The Simple Ideas That Make Computers Work》是一本很好的计算机科学外行入门指南。他在不到 200 页的篇幅里，从布尔逻辑、图灵机一路讲到了量子计算。
A good layman's guide for computer science is Danny "Connection Machine" Hillis' "The Pattern On The Stone: The Simple Ideas That Make Computers Work". He builds up from Boolean logic to Turing machines to quantum computing in fewer than 200 pages.
Daniel Hillis 写的《The Pattern on the Stone》改变了我看待计算和软件的方式。虽然只是本很薄的书，但他一开始极其严肃地用树枝和石头来解释计算机原理，然后带领读者……
The pattern on the stone by Daniel Hillis changed the way I look at computing and software. It is just simple book, but explains the computers in the initial pages using sticks and stones, in all seriousness and leads the reader…
另外，如果你喜欢《编码》（Code），我推荐 Danny Hillis（Thinking Machines 那台 Connection Machine 超级计算机的缔造者）写的《The Pattern on the Stone》。它比《Code》短得多，但用快得多的节奏把差不多的内容基本上都覆盖到了，不过先读《Code》可能会更好……
In addition, if you like "Code", I'd recommend The Pattern on the Stone by Danny Hillis (creator of Thinking Machines' Connection Machine supercomputer). It's much shorter than "Code" but covers basically the same ground much more quickly, but Code might be better first…
除了《Code》，我强烈推荐 Danny Hillis 的《The Pattern on the Stone》，他碰巧也是 Thinking Machines 大规模并行超算 Connection Machine 的设计师。它用少得多的时间覆盖了比《Code》更多的内容。在《Code》里……
Besides "Code," I highly recommend "The Pattern on the Stone" by Danny Hillis, who also happens to be the designer of Thinking Machines' massively parallel supercomputer, the Connection Machine. It covers more material than Code in a lot less time. In "Code,"…
……太像教科书了。Abelson 还合著了《Turtle Geometry》，现在几乎没人知道了，但依然让人大开眼界。（与其说是一本编程书，不如说是一本数学书，但它的初衷是两者兼顾。）Daniel Hillis：《The Pattern on the Stone》、《The Connection Machine》。Richard O'Keefe：《The Craft of Prolog》。Jon Bentley。我记得 pg 的《On Lisp》也很不错。
…textbookish. Abelson also co-wrote Turtle Geometry, which is almost unknown these days and still eye-opening. (It's more of a math book than a programming one, but its point is to be both.) Daniel Hillis: The Pattern on the Stone, The Connection Machine. Richard O'Keefe, The Craft of Prolog. Jon Bentley. I remember pg's On Lisp as good.
