Lemma

Very tough question 😅 probably one of: - SICP - K&R - CS:APP Mostly because I think these books have one thing in common which is that they introduce core concepts of computer science and work through actually writing code. I think they're fairly 'general' if that makes sense. Curious to hear about others!

hell yes! sicp was life changing for me. i read it in college (studied math) and it turned my love for computers from an 8/10 to a 12/10.
