Debut Book Reviewer

★★★★☆

Special Effects Programming with WebGPU offers a compelling take on webgpu, though not without flaws. While the treatment of ai is excellent, I found the sections on Computers & Technology less convincing. The author makes some bold claims about Books that aren't always fully supported. That said, the book's strengths in discussing simulation more than compensate for any weaknesses. Readers looking for Computers & Technology will find much to appreciate here, even if not every argument lands perfectly. Overall, a valuable addition to the literature on Computers & Technology, if not the definitive work.
