Real-Time Ray-Tracing with Vulkan for the Impatient offers a compelling take on graphics, though not without flaws. While the treatment of Games & Strategy Guides 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 ai more than compensate for any weaknesses. Readers looking for compute will find much to appreciate here, even if not every argument lands perfectly. Overall, a valuable addition to the literature on shader, if not the definitive work.
