The Pattern On The Stone (Tape)

Daniel Hillis
Read by Adam Hart-Davis

This tape is part of a unique twenty-part series, providing an enjoyable and stimulating introduction to all the main areas of science, selected under the guidance of Richard Dawkins.

Most people are baffled by how computers work and assume that they will never understand them. What they don't realise is that the computer's complex operations can be broken down into a few simple parts that perform basic procedures again and again. This audio book offers an easy-to-follow explanation of data processing that makes the operations of a computer seem as simple as those of a bicycle. This is an indispensable guide to understanding how computers work and think.
