Title: The worst CS book
Review: As a near-straight A computer science student, I bought this book while taking an Automata and Computability class. This book was terrible. It had zero real life examples of how the theory would ever be used. I simply couldn't relate to the material. In fact, all of the examples provided were outdated by at least 45-50 years. Some of the devices used in the examples no longer existed (like some pre-historic tape machines).I later took the same class with another teacher who didn't use any books but instead used examples like soda machine that dispenses correct change, etc. Much more helpful.The book was very confusing. I'm glad it's over. I left the book in the lobby of my building for some poor soul to pick it up. :)
