A collection of essays, this book weaves a personal story of father and son against a backdrop of what was to become the computer era. Rather than faithfully recount a history of the past 60 years, these stories of everyday people explore the patterns that computing bestowed on the last half of the 20th century. By gently exposing the revolutionary nature of the computer, the relation between machines and human institutions, and the connections between fathers and sons, these essays depict a small community, turning around a specific technology that attempted to rebuild human institutions in its own image.
