Hackers
This 25th anniversary edition of Steven Levy's classic book traces the exploits of the computer revolution's original hackers -- those brilliant and eccentric nerds from the late 1950s through the early '80s who took risks, bent the rules, and pushed the world in a radical new direction. With updated material from noteworthy hackers such as Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Richard Stallman, and Steve Wozniak, Hackers is a fascinating story that begins in early computer research labs and leads to the first home computers. Levy profiles the imaginative brainiacs who found clever and unorthodox solutions to computer engineering problems. They had a shared sense of values, known as "the hacker ethic," that still thrives today. Hackers captures a seminal period in recent history when underground activities blazed a trail for today's digital world, from MIT students finagling access to clunky computer-card machines to the DIY culture that spawned the Altair and the Apple II.
The Man with No One to Talk to
Humility leads to understanding and unusual opportunities. Always encouraged to be self-reliant. Repairing radios, lawnmowers, and cars since age ten, this person was destined to become an engineer. And after some difficulties in school and the divorce of his parents, he went to college and got his master's degree, and he did become an engineer, but that was just the beginning. He then got a PhD from Stanford University and cofounded an electronics company in Silicon Valley. A life, in many ways, that started the same as any American born in the 1950s and who grew up in the suburbs. This average life ended up above average because of a series of opportunities to learn and to grow. He met and learned from a former president, US senators, and a WWII Japanese pilot instructor who had become a pacifist, and lots of great teachers and professors and colleagues. All along the way and while visiting many countries around the world, he learned a lot more than just engineering. But the outcome was not obvious. There were setbacks. It was not clear what direction his life would take, or if he would even become an engineer, until he met the man with no one to talk to.
The Chinese Computer
The fascinating, untold story of how the Chinese language overcame unparalleled challenges and revolutionized the world of computing. A standard QWERTY keyboard has a few dozen keys. How can Chinese—a language with tens of thousands of characters and no alphabet—be input on such a device? In The Chinese Computer, Thomas S. Mullaney sets out to resolve this paradox, and in doing so, discovers that the key to this seemingly impossible riddle has given rise to a new epoch in the history of writing—a form of writing he calls “hypography.” Based on fifteen years of research, this pathbreaking history of the Chinese language charts the beginnings of electronic Chinese technology in the w...
