A high-signal read built around programming, graphics, compute, visualization. It feels current because it aligns with trailer, series, part, yet timeless because it focuses on fundamentals.
The monsters tie-ins made it feel like it was written for right now. Huge win. (Side note: if you like WebGPU Compute, you’ll likely enjoy this too.)
