@michael_nielsen Wait, you read both books today? (I loved his Zones of Thought books, but I haven't read either of those.)
@mcnees tPW is very good, though not in the same class. It rehearses a lot of the later ideas, especially in aDitS.

@michael_nielsen They are both on my list. Alas, my pace has slowed considerably the last few years; I maybe finish a book every few weeks. -
@mcnees Funny, today didn't feel rushed at all - spent much of it wandering "The Beaches". But I also got into the books, & well...
