I'm only a third of the way through so maybe this is premature, but Code: The Hidden Language of Computer Hardware and Software by Charles Petzold is shaping up as one those Life Changing Reads.
Up there with, say, Burn the Fat and Feed the Muscle for losing the gut.
Up there with, say, Running and Being for running and, well, being.
Up there with, say, On The Road for the wanderlust.
Like that. For the best explanation of logic gates I've read. For breaking down, visually and concisely, every important concept and example mentioned. For the charm and wit of the writing.
I also like Code's simple and effective cover design, the letters C-O-D-E over their equivalents in Morse Code, Braille and binary. White space in effect.
