New Taschen book on the history of the computer
It's a pretty well known publisher, their books are usually very good.

The books from taschen are usually pretty, with very shallow texts, most of them sound like PR pieces

They publish the quintessential coffee table books. Pretty but shallow.

They published Oliver Byrne's modernist visual take on the first six books of Euclid's elements. It's not all shallow.

Yep probably, still room for some light and visually pleasing reading I guess! Just like I might enjoy watching some John Wick movie knowing full well it won’t go down in history like Citizen Kane.

The text appears in 3 languages side by side, so there is not much space for exposition.
