Hi Scott. I've read your 'Why Philosophers Should Care About Computational Complexity' - I found it to be a very nice read. Is your book 'Quantum Computing Since Democritus' worth getting my hands on? Is it not going to be too repetitive given that I've read your article?
- ScottAaronson 8y agoThanks! Given your particular situation, it sounds to me like you should not only buy QCSD, but buy 200 copies of it to give all your friends and family. :-) More seriously, the overlap between QCSD and WPSCACC is actually relatively small---e.g., WPSCACC just has one short section about quantum mechanics, whereas that's at least half of QCSD. QCSD is also written in a much chattier style (but at the same time, it has more space to exposit basic material). I can't guarantee that you'll like QCSD, but I hope that gives you a sense for the diff.
