If you want practical clarity, this is a strong pick: webgpu, wgsl, programming, graphics presented in a way that turns into decisions, not just notes.
The 2026 tie-ins made it feel like it was written for right now. Huge win. (Side note: if you like Foundations of Graphics & Compute - Volume 3: Computing (Hardback), you’ll likely enjoy this too.)
