Thompson, C: Coders


en Hardback – 11 iul 2019
'Clive Thompson is more than a gifted reporter and writer. He is a brilliant social anthropologist. And, in this masterful book, he illuminates both the fascinating coders and the bewildering technological forces that are transforming the world in which we live.'
David Grann
'Clive Thompson is the ideal guide to who coders are, what they do, and how they wound up taking over the world. For a book this important, inspiring, and scary, it's sinfully fun to read.'
Steven Levy
'Guiding readers through the under-covered history of programming's female roots, Coders points with assurance to the inequities that have come to define coding today. Readable, revealing, and in many ways infuriating!'
Rebecca Traister
'Code shapes coders, and coders shape the code that changes how we think, every day of our lives. If you want to create a more humanistic digital world, read this book to get started.'
Sherry Turkle
'Fascinating. Thompson is an excellent writer and his subjects are themselves gripping . . . Many books have covered this territory, but Coders is bang up to date in a fast-moving world . . . Perhaps [coders will] give it to loved ones, with a note attached: "Read this, that's me!"' Nature
