The Soul of a New Machine by Tracy Kidder
4.0
With Kidder’s dab hand at fleshing out the wide cast of “characters” in just a few paragraphs, this book makes for a livelier portrait of the personal computing boom than you might expect going in.
For the modern reader, the detailed descriptions of the now-outdated technical specs of these the-new machines occasionally dragged. The exploration of the foundational culture of an an ascendent tech sector remained engaging and relevant, however, living as we all are in the world shaped by those foundations.
