   What's the story angle/line/tanent/"e"/"pi"/etc.? (linear algegra, Lewis Carol math, Claud, Shannon, etc. ) -- Physical reminder/context for why 'booked ticket to get punched'?

   Target audience? -- is journey a story in which 'instructions/learning' are actions used to get the reader to partake in story? aka humanities novel as wrapper to 70's wall of documentation volumes.

   > Should I just focus on creating the content and making sure it’s useful/valuable and treat the book as just another method of presentation?

   Is this for a 'Go Forth' TeD book of the month talk?

   Any further clarification on type theory / category background? (cs, art, architecture, fonts, LaTex, ascii, utf, ...)

   > ... book just a nice to have thing? Wide variety of catecorical/topi types.

   Physicall book can be less expensive / less hassel than mangaging drmo on elecronic tablet/format only to have reference auto-erased. Dont have to worry about battery leaking/exploding. Thankfully, electronic formats allow for circumventing the imaginary wierd mechanics of trying to carry around wall's worth of pearls within multiple physical book encylopedia volumes without spending one's life working out at gym to be able to effortlessly carry/handle the encylopedia volume(s).

   I found a lot of practical CS applications in this one:

   "Coding The Matrix: Linear Algebra Through Computer Science Applications" https://codingthematrix.com/

   It used to be on Coursera too, has video lectures and a book to go with it.
