Hi Evan, hi all, there’s a wonderful book about the Supercomputing Center at the University of Stuttgart, Germany by David Gugerli and Ricky Wichum: Simulation for All. The Politics of Supercomputing in Stuttgart. Zürich 2021. https://www.chronos-verlag.ch/node/28049 Simulation for All chronos-verlag.ch I recently wrote a review about the great book, which you find here: https://www.hsozkult.de/review/id/reb-96086?title=geschichte-und-umwelt-von-...
