This is an important book. As we shape with our tools, our tools shape us. Mid-century computer generated art is misunderstood because the process is so foreign. It is not immediate like painting, it is not common like using an iPad. The author does an excellent job of detailing how these images were created.

The book has a little difficulty knowing what it is about, but that’s something that happens with most platform studies. Regardless, there will be parts that seem less relevant or meander.
