When I started reading the book, I got excited by the concept of it. I spent years upon years reading maths, physics, and chemistry textbooks and more often than not they are incredibly confusing for someone who is not very familiar with the topics explained. If I had read “x is left as an exercise for the reader” one more time, I would’ve quit STEM altogether. However I found these series of books by this company, CGP, that did a great job at explaining complicated concepts in an approachable and fun way. I thought this book was going to be similar to that, however it wasn’t. Amdahl does a poor job at explaining the concepts in my opinion, and the book is riddled with fillers. He spent 4 pages setting up the greenie analogy which were entirely fillers! What I’m trying to say is, I can see why this book was rejected by 89 publishers. After a certain amount of “no”s, the world is not wrong, you are.
