An interesting idea for a book that almost works, to identify knowledge from the domain of computer science that can translate to everyday life.
There are at least a few ideas that are not so well known and provide interesting insight. But there are as many that are relatively well known and not as practical to apply.

If I had read this book when I initially added it to my TBR in 2011-ish I would have found it interesting, but AI and GenAI have evolved too much.
Stopped before 100 pages.

If you are not well-versed in programming topics it might be a bit hard to understand some points that the author makes but I think it would still be a nice read.
