Title: Captivating... Masterful... (unless you have a life)
Review: Though quite thorough, this book is a "textbook example" of how boring the subject of computer science can be. Instead of touching on new technologies, such as AI, graphics, or anything else remotely relevant to today's demands on programmers and designers, this book, faithful to its MIT roots, gives a pompous, eggheaded distortion to the field of computers as a whole. Its focus is mainly on such trivialities as algorithm analysis, offering about 10 pages of proofs for each simple assertion. The points that the authors hope to make have no relevance whatsoever in a world in which processor power, not meticulous code optimization, reigns. This book is a waste of matter and not worth the paper it is printed on.
