My quirky book that I think deserved more attention (the book as well as the subject) is "Stack Computers: the new wave by Philip J. Koopman, Jr": https://users.ece.cmu.edu/~koopman/stack_computers/index.html https://users.ece.cmu.edu/~koopman/stack_computers/index.htm... (The book is free to download by the author.) Fairly fresh into comp arch, this book really highlighted for me the interaction of HW and SW, and how from a minimal arch we can build and improve it. I'm still sad that stack modern architectures didn't take off as Koopman envisioned it.
