Far from an abstract machine, the text begins with transistors and digital
logic. From there, it builds upon the titular bits and bytes and describes an
entire computer architecture in detail including the control-unit state-machine,
data and I/O paths. Upon this computer, assembly, C and C++ programming
languages are described. It is fascinating. As far as I know, a complete
hardware implementation has never been physically built but, I can imagine, the
text will be invaluable when humanity has to recreate computers from first
data and I/O paths. Upon this computer, assembly, C and C++ programming

While similar in many respects to the x86 or ARM ISAs, the LC-3 is radically
