I've heard good things about this book for years and nearly bought it a few times. Could never bring myself to commit the hundreds of hours of reading time. Every time I leaf through it it feels like it's just a collection of anecdotes about how amazing mathematics is. Like I need someone to remind me...

It was a transformative book for me when I first read it, but now when I leaf through it I feel a little underwhelmed; the ideas are just things I've thought about a million times now.

That's more or less what went through my mind when I saw the parts about computation. It would have been amazing as a primer when I first got interested in computers, especially if I had seen it in my youth or several decades ago. Now that I pretty much worked that out by myself it's a lot less more like dejá vu then an ahá moment.
