In the Beginning...Was the Command Line [Secure eReader (recommended)/Mobipocket/Microsoft Reader]
by Neal Stephenson
|
|
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 ... more info>> 2008

The Big U [Secure eReader (recommended)/Mobipocket/Microsoft Reader]
by Neal Stephenson
|
|
The New York Times Book Review called Neal Stephenson's most recent novel "electrifying" and "hilarious" ... but if you want to know Stephenson was doing twenty years before he wrote the epic Cryptonomicon, it's back-to-school time. Back to The Big U, that is, a hilarious send-up of American college life starring after years out of print, The Big U is required reading for anyone interested in the early work of this singular writer. 2008
