Seems indicative of shifting expectations/demands that SICP used to be freshman course book; now it's considered "super advanced reading" :/

What's the best way to learn those concepts now? Is it still SICP?

I don't know of a better way, which bums me out, because SICP is not perfect.

Bummer! Sounds like we should add it to the plan for the Primer ;)

The funny thing is that elements of SICP were actually *in* the Primer described in Diamond Age. Turing's castle, etc…

Wow, amazing to think that a fictional book inside a novel is the only way some would know those concepts.
