The Bug by Ellen Ullman

4.0

An interesting study of obsession among computer professionals and how a seemingly illogical element can ricochet through social situations and fracture relationships. I've written code for a long time and suffered a number of Jesters myself, so I know exactly where this is coming from. The characters and environment are caricatures somewhat of regular tech life (or I've been lucky), but there's no doubt this is a well written and engrossing work. I didn't want to put it down! Non technical readers may have a very different experience, of course.
