    i've been keeping my beloved copy of Macaulay's The Way Things Work--worn to hell, spine held together with duct tape, taught me how computers use transistors to add numbers when i was 12--to share with my kids someday

    just noticed the title page describes a computer mouse with a mechanical ball in it. might as well be a rotary telephone

    luckily there have been two revisions to the book, the latest in 2016 ("The Way Things Work Now")

      @pho4cexa if you get the new one, keep the old edition around; the new one drops the explanation of the adder/half-adder which was one of my favorite sections
