Neal Stephenson – In the Beginning…was the Command Line

This is „the Word” — one man’s word, certainly — about the art (and artifice) of the state of our computer-centric existence. And considering that the „one man” is Neal Stephenson, „the hacker Hemingway” (Newsweek) — acclaimed novelist, pragmatist, seer, nerd-friendly philosopher, and nationally bestselling author of groundbreaking literary works (Snow Crash, Cryptonomicon, etc., etc.) — the word is well worth hearing. Mostly well-reasoned examination and partial rant, Stephenson’s In the Beginning… was the Command Line is a thoughtful, irreverent, hilarious treatise on the cyber-culture past and present; on operating system tyrannies and downloaded popular revolutions; on the Internet, Disney World, Big Bangs, not to mention the meaning of life itself.   źródło opisu: http://www.harpercollins.com/books/In-the-Beginnin…(?) źródło okładki: http://www.harpercollins.com/books/In-the-Beginnin…»
