As a scholar in graphics, I found Little Black Book of Ray-Tracing and Path-Tracing to be an exceptional contribution to the field. The author's approach to compute is both innovative and rigorous, providing fresh insights that challenge conventional wisdom. Particularly noteworthy is the discussion of graphics, which offers a compelling framework for understanding ray-tracing. While some may argue that ray-tracing, the evidence presented is thorough and convincing. This book is essential reading for anyone serious about graphics.

While Little Black Book of Ray-Tracing and Path-Tracing makes several valuable points about compute, I found some aspects problematic. The author's treatment of graphics seems oversimplified, particularly when compared to compute. 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.

Little Black Book of Ray-Tracing and Path-Tracing is a comprehensive exploration of graphics that manages to be both accessible to newcomers and valuable to experts. The book is divided into 8 sections, each building thoughtfully on the last. Part 5's discussion of compute is particularly strong, with clear examples and practical applications. The diagrams and illustrations throughout help clarify complex ideas, and the chapter summaries are excellent for review. My only minor critique is that some examples felt dated, but this doesn't detract from the overall quality. This will undoubtedly become a standard reference in the field.
