Soul of a New Machine

摘要: From the Publisher: Computers have changed since 1981, when Tracy Kidder indelibly recorded drama, comedy, and excitement of one company's efforts to bring a new microcomputer market. What has little, however, is computer culture: feverish pace high-tech industry, mystique programmers, go-for-broke approach business that caused so many companies win big (or go belly up), cult pursuing mind-bending technological innovations. By tracing culture its roots, by exploring "soul" "machine" revolutionized world, succeeds as no other writer done in capturing essential spirit age.
