If you want to learn about computers from how 1s and 0s turn into assembly language which turn into modern programming this is the best book for that

Amazing book from an amazing and pretty much impossible to pass course I took once.

After you read this book, you will never think of computers the same for the rest of your life.

I feel like the word "Introduction" in the title is kind of like a subtle jab at you though. Like trying to suggest this is an easy book to go through while in reality it will be like if you were in the movie 2001 Space Odyssey and touched the monolith.
