Fractals: The Definitive Guide offers a compelling take on webgpu, though not without flaws. While the treatment of javascript is excellent, I found the sections on visualization less convincing. The author makes some bold claims about compute that aren't always fully supported. That said, the book's strengths in discussing wgsl more than compensate for any weaknesses. Readers looking for Books will find much to appreciate here, even if not every argument lands perfectly. Overall, a valuable addition to the literature on Science & Math, if not the definitive work.

I absolutely loved Fractals: The Definitive Guide! It completely changed my perspective on webgpu. At first I wasn't sure about Mathematics, but by chapter 3 I was completely hooked. The way the author explains Books is so clear and relatable - it's like they're talking directly to you. I've already recommended this to all my friends who are interested in Mathematics. What I appreciated most was how the book made shader feel so accessible. I'll definitely be rereading this one - there's so much to take in!
