The Elements of Computing Systems: Building a Modern Computer from First Principles by Noam Nisan and Shimon Schocken gives an in-depth overview of how computers work and how they're built. We also highly recommend the Kindle edition if you have an eBook reader or tablet since it's so big and heavy. Several editions of this book are available, but for most, we recommend getting the latest edition. This book goes into lots of details and is a long, but an interesting read. Upgrading and Repairing PCs by Scott Mueller is one of our favorite books that is an in-depth overview of computers and computer hardware. The book has illustrations and is not as overwhelming as some other computer books. How Computers Work by Ron White is a great overview of how everything in your computer works.
