The whale
The whale is the largest, loudest, oldest animal ever to have existed. It is improbable, amazing, and---as anyone who has seen an underwater documentary or visited the display at the American Museum of Natural History can attest---a powerful source of wonder and delight to millions. The Whale is an extraordinary journey into the world of this fascinating and mysterious animal.

What Hacker News says
- Leviathan, or The Whale by Philip Hoare - As a big fan of whales and Moby Dick, this was amazing.
Code: The Hidden Language of Computer Hardware and Software by Charles Petzold - This has been on my to-read list for years. Pretty great so far.
- If you find this interesting, I cannot recommend Philip Hoare's "Albert and the Whale" (mentioned in the article as well) highly enough -- the best work yet by a great writer: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Albert-and-the-Whale/...
