When the Feynman Lectures on Computation were finally published in September 1996, I promised a complementary volume that would address the 'advanced topics' covered in Feynman's course but excluded from the published version.
In this way, a much more accurate impression of the intellectual breadth and stimulation of Feynman's course on computation would be achieved. In spite of some change to this philosophy along the way. I am satisfied that this hook completes the picture and provides a published record of Feynman's longstanding and deep interest in the fundamentals of computers.
