The Soul of a New Machine by Tracy Kidder

5.0

Pulitzer winner non fiction 1982 follows computer engineers in 78-80 as they create a new machine. Interesting view of the invention of technology and motivation and personalities of engineers and working people in general. What a time when a journalist would devote so much time to infiltrating a world and write narrative that reads like fiction. The engineers commentary on AI and the future of computer technology was also compelling. Who would have thought I’d love this book
