Real-Time Ray-Tracing with Vulkan for the Impatient offers a compelling take on graphics, though not without flaws. While the treatment of vulkan is excellent, I found the sections on Games & Strategy Guides less convincing. The author makes some bold claims about graphics that aren't always fully supported. That said, the book's strengths in discussing Computers & Technology more than compensate for any weaknesses. Readers looking for vulkan will find much to appreciate here, even if not every argument lands perfectly. Overall, a valuable addition to the literature on graphics, if not the definitive work.

I absolutely loved Real-Time Ray-Tracing with Vulkan for the Impatient! It completely changed my perspective on graphics. At first I wasn't sure about Games & Strategy Guides, but by chapter 3 I was completely hooked. The way the author explains ray-tracing is so clear and relatable - it's like they're talking directly to you. I've already recommended this to all my friends who are interested in Books. What I appreciated most was how the book made shader feel so accessible. I'll definitely be rereading this one - there's so much to take in!
