What people on Hacker News said
This book is the one that made every layers clear to me, from transistors to assembly code. Code no longer feels like magic for me once I've seen the greasy parts that move under the hood.
One of the best books explaining the abstractions and layering involved in Computer Systems. For some reason not many people know about this.
