A thought provoking read that has many nuances. While I am not Buddhist, it is good to know that there are rituals and choices to follow that transcend your spirituality or religion, whatever they are. Much needed during this time.
This work is comprehensive and really well put together, however from the consideration of learning/reviewing the content, I suggest a printed book, which is easier to annotate, highlight and flip back to. Still, it is really rewarding content. 🙂

Review from Coders →
The first half of this book was decent, covering some of the early days of coding/computing/technology. It covers a lot of ground but doesn’t go into much depth. At the same time, it fails to mention a number of the early contributors to computer science. If the first half was the entirety of this book,..
Finally a strong argument against the survival 9f the fittest among humans. Highly reccomend it.
