The Tinkertoy Computer and Other Machinations

Rating:
Summary: Curious Book
Review: This book is ideal for anyone who likes to tinker with computers and/or is into programming, electroincs, math, or physics. It is a composition of mental explorations which range from building a computer out of tinkertoys to chaos theory, computer-generated music, and fractal geometry. Most chapters are easy reads, but a couple get a little dry. Overall it was a very enjoyable, thought-provoking book.
