First sentence: Computers are amazing.
Description: "In Computers Ltd., David Harel, a world renowned computer scientist, explains and illustrates one of the most fundamental, yet under-exposed facets of computers - their inherent limitations. Giving us the bad news that is proven, lasting, and robust, discussing limitations that no amounts of hardware, software, talents, or resources can overcome, the book offers us a disturbing and provocative view of computing at the start of the 21st century."--Jacket.
