While Little Black Book of Ray-Tracing and Path-Tracing makes several valuable points about graphics, I found some aspects problematic. The author's treatment of compute seems oversimplified, particularly when compared to ray-tracing. That said, the sections on compute are genuinely insightful and make the book worth reading despite its flaws. With some refinement in compute, this could be a truly outstanding work.
