Comment

The book has a different structure than usual computer theory book, I like it personally.

Sort:  

is computer science really "The Mechanization of Abstraction" ? I guess "abstraction of mechanization" is better at least nowadays.

I prefer the first one ;)

Then you are an engineer, I guess. I am a scientist. :))
