"Sparse Distributed Memory" is a lovely book by Pentti Kanerva in which he hypothesizes that high dimensional binary vectors (hypervectors) is key to understanding human memory and cognition. To a large part Kanerva is concerned with constructing the theory for a feasible implementation of hypervector storage and arithmetics in modern hardware. (While the book is some decades old the main strokes and ideas still hold relevant.) As a fun fact, and quite telling of what kind of book it is, Douglas Hofstadter has written the foreword.

The book is quite hard to get hold of, but here is a recent talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUCoxhExe0o
