What people on Hacker News said
Herb Simon's classic Sciences of the Artificial, which approaches design from the lens of an AI researcher trying to figure out what design really is, partly to develop it into a science of design, and partly with an eye towards formalizing a model of design that a computer could use
It's about design, engineering, intelligence (artificial or human), and building things.
