Krátky popis
In the tradition of classics such as Lives of the Cell by Lewis
Thomas, a bold reframing of our relationship with technology into
one that is more positive and human centered. In the digital world,
code is the essential primary building block, the equivalent of the
cell or DNA in the biological sphere-and almost as mysterious. Code
can create entire worlds, real and virtual, it allows us to connect
instantly to people and places around the globe, and it performs
tasks that were once only possible in science fiction.It is a
superpower, and not just in a technical sense. It is also a gateway
to ideas. As vividly illustrated by Samuel Arbesman, it is the
ultimate connector, providing new insight and meaning into how
everything from language and mythology to biblical texts, biology,
even our patterns of thought connect with the history and nature of
computing.While the building block of code can be used for many
wondrous things it can also create deeper wedges in our society and
be weaponized to cause damage to our planet or our civilization.
Code and computing are too important to be left to the tech
community, it is essential that each of us engage with it. And we
fail to understand it at our peril.By providing us with a framework
to think about coding and its effects upon the world and placing
the past, current, and future developments in computing into its
broader setting we see how software and computers can work for
people as opposed to against our needs. With this deeper
understanding into the ",why", of coding we can be masters of
technology rather than its victims.
