If you want practical clarity, this is a strong pick: webgpu, graphics, compute, ray-tracing presented in a way that turns into decisions, not just notes.
Okay, wow. This is one of those books that makes you want to do things. The graphics framing is chef’s kiss. (Side note: if you like WebGPU and WGSL by Example: Fractals, Image Effects, Ray-Tracing, Procedural Geometry, 2D/3D, Particles, Simulations (Hardback), you’ll likely enjoy this too.)
