I received my first reader comment for my new book
Digitized today. It happens to be
from another author, who has a book coming out soon himself. This is what he said (and I won't
annonymise the writer this time in case you want to check out his book):
Dear Peter,
I'm writing to tell you how much I'm enjoying your latest book,
Digitized. The most recent passage I read, about art and creativity, was wonderful. I've never
come across Latham's work, but in the past I've chatted with Harold Cohen about his Aaron system
(his son, Paul Cohen, was my Ph.D. advisor), and it's a fascinating area.
I'm also writing to mention that Oxford will be publishing another
popular science book about computing in the fall, by me: Computing for Ordinary Mortals. It's very
different from your book, but there's naturally some overlap in the concepts.
Best regards,
Rob St. Amant
