Review of 'Nine algorithms that changed the future' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

A simple but understandable look at the details behind many of the most important algorithms running in computers today. As somebody who has designed software for years, I still found myself learning new things about systems I use every day. At the same time, the explanations seemed clear enough so that even to others who view computers as mysterious, these techniques would still make sense. Nicely done, making something as dry and inaccessible as computer logic an enjoyable and accessible read.
