Shaders Unchained: Writing Powerful Shaders for Every Platform offers a compelling take on Shaders, though not without flaws. While the treatment of Computers & Technology is excellent, I found the sections on Computer Graphics less convincing. The author makes some bold claims about OpenGL that aren't always fully supported. That said, the book's strengths in discussing GPU Compute more than compensate for any weaknesses. Readers looking for Computer Graphics will find much to appreciate here, even if not every argument lands perfectly. Overall, a valuable addition to the literature on Game Development, if not the definitive work.

Interesting perspective. I saw Shader Art differently - more as Shaders.
Just finished Shaders Unchained: Writing Powerful Shaders for Every Platform - wow! The part about DirectX really got me thinking.
I'd add that WGSL is also worth considering in this discussion.
