For a popular scientific view on this topic, I recommend
Noam Nisan, Shimon Schocken - The Elements of Computing Systems: Building a Modern Computer from First Principles
You can find the first half of the book at http://www.nand2tetris.org/course.php http://www.nand2tetris.org/course.php
- glaberficken 10y agoThanks! that surely looks interesting and I will check it out in more detail. However I was looking for something more summarized and using metaphors for the layman.
- wolfgke 10y agoIf you prefer a computer game over a book, have a look at MHRD: > http://store.steampowered.com/app/576030/MHRD/ http://store.steampowered.com/app/576030/MHRD/ This game is rather similar in spirit to "The Elements of Computing Systems", which I recommended above, but more summarized (though it only considers up to CPU level in opposite to the Nisan-Schocken book).
