Coders

En savoir plus sur le livre

"In Coders, acclaimed tech writer Clive Thompson offers a brilliant anthropological reckoning with the most powerful tribe in the world today, computer programmers, in a book that asks who they are, how they think, what qualifies as greatness in their world, and what should give us pause. Along the way, Thompson ponders the morality and politics of code, including its implications for civic life and the economy, unpacks the surprising history of the field, beginning with the first coders -- brilliant and pioneering women, who were later written out of history. To understand the world today, we need to understand code and its consequences. With Coders, Thompson gives a definitive look into the heart of the machine." -- Provided by publisher
