Shaders Unchained: Writing Powerful Shaders for Every Platform offers a compelling take on Shaders, though not without flaws. While the treatment of Computer Graphics is excellent, I found the sections on Computer Graphics less convincing. The author makes some bold claims about Shader Art that aren't always fully supported. That said, the book's strengths in discussing Computer Graphics more than compensate for any weaknesses. Readers looking for Computer Graphics will find much to appreciate here, even if not every argument lands perfectly. Overall, a valuable addition to the literature on OpenGL & Vulkan, if not the definitive work.

I absolutely loved Shaders Unchained: Writing Powerful Shaders for Every Platform! It completely changed my perspective on Shaders. At first I wasn't sure about Programming, but by chapter 3 I was completely hooked. The way the author explains Computer Graphics 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 GLSL. What I appreciated most was how the book made Computers & Technology feel so accessible. I'll definitely be rereading this one - there's so much to take in!
