Different professor (and no longer downloadable) Philosophy of Computer Science from buffalo.edu https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20912718 (and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10388603 )

The author of the Buffalo tome is https://cse.buffalo.edu/~rapaport/ which links to a number of other resources too.

> The table of contents alone (19 pages) is an extraordinarily good outline of what CS is, and what the major components and questions of it are.

> This looks awesome. It's a huge book though; this draft is 824 pages! Still, definitely looking forward to reading this... eventually.



Any ways to download that book which is no longer downloadable? Could you share some link or something helpful to find it?


As an alternative, the published book itself is out just this month (Feb 2023):

Excellent! Thank you. I've had a copy of that pdf sitting on my system for a while - nice to know I can put something on my bookshelf now.


Tossing the link for the pdf into the wayback machine will pull up earlier versions of the complete file.
