The entire website of the author is worth exploring: https://t3x.org/index.html

I love it so much, and seeing your bibliography makes me feel like a kid in a candy store. The confluence of Asian philosophy and computing is delightful.

Where is the bibliography? (I searched for it, but couldn't find it, expecting to find a list of books which the author referenced in writing/researching)

“Bibliography” is a word used in practice with multiple meanings; the dictionary prepared by Oxford Dictionaries for Google (https://languages.oup.com/google-dictionary-en/) gives (https://www.google.com/search?q=define%3Abibliography) three meanings:

> • a list of the books referred to in a scholarly work, typically printed as an appendix.

> • a list of the books of a specific author or publisher, or on a specific subject. "a bibliography of his publications"

> • the history or systematic description of books, their authorship, printing, publication, editions, etc. "he regarded bibliography as a science"

In this context clearly the second meaning is meant (https://t3x.org/index.html#books); this also corresponds to meaning 2 at Wiktionary (https://en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=bibliography&old...) or 2b at Merriam-Webster (https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/bibliography).

> a list of works written by an author or printed by a publishing house “compiled a complete bibliography of John Donne”
