@cjmuise my favourite is Paul Edwards’ “A Vast Machine”. It’s more about the data, while mine is more about the models. I think they should go well together. https://mitpress.mit.edu/9780262518635/a-vast-machine/
If you want something that’s a little more like an introductory textbook, I think the most readable is Andy Dessler’s “An Introduction to Modern Climate Change”

Thanks for letting me know. It appears to be browser-specific - e.g. it works for me in Firefox and Safari for iOS, but not in Safari on Ventura. I'll notify the publisher.
Meanwhile, I guess there's always Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Computing-Climate-Know-About-Change/dp/1107589924/ref=sr_1_1?crid=JT7GW64H2WZW&keywords=easterbrook+computing+the+climate&qid=1690426252&sprefix=easterbrook+computing+the+climat%2Caps%2C142&sr=8-1
