Tracy Kidder is an American author and Vietnam War veteran. Kidder may be best known, especially within the computing community, for his Pulitzer Prize-winning The Soul of a New Machine, an account of the development of Data General's Eclipse/MV minicomputer. The book typifies his distinctive style of research. He began following the project at its inception and, in addition to interviews, spent considerable time observing the engineers at work and outside of it. Using this perspective he was able to produce a more textured portrait of the development process than a purely retrospective study might.
Kidder followed up with House, in which he chronicles the design and construction of the award-winning Souweine House in Amherst, Massachusetts. House reads like a novel, but it is based on many hours of research with the architect, builders, clients, in-laws, and other interested parties.
In 2003, Kidder also published Mountains Beyond Mountains: The Quest of Dr. Paul Farmer, A Man Who Would Cure The World after a chance encounter with Paul Farmer. The book was held to wide critical acclaim and became a New York Times bestseller. The actor Edward Norton has claimed it was one of the books which has had a profound influence on him.

评分从头至尾,写了鹰计算机的艰辛历程,看了挺久的,今天终于是看完了。看到最后不经让人唏嘘,一段传奇的历史,背后默默的付出者又有几人会被记住。实现自己的人生的究竟是什么? 自我和金钱。 这句话在最后无疑很好的解释了这个故事。

Computers have changed since 1981, when Tracy Kidder memorably recorded the drama, comedy, and excitement of one companys efforts to bring a new microcomputer to market. What has not changed is the feverish pace of the high-tech industry, the go-for-broke approach to business that has caused so many computer companies to win big (or go belly up), and the cult of pursuing mind-bending technological innovations. The Soul of a New Machine is an essential chapter in the history of the machine that revolutionized the world in the twentieth century.
2002年夏天, 初二的时候看的. 当然是中文版. 一边单曲重复地听着班得瑞的仙境专辑里第7首Adiemus. 那个年代的激情与疯狂. 那年我走上了计算机之路. 缺点就是... 似乎并不是那么多人都能读得懂.
评分还可以,比想象的可能稍有不如,不过还算写的挺好玩的,虽然不是那么有吸引力。最近好像心情比较急,没有看的很仔细,中间还跳过了两章。英语还是个不小的障碍。
评分小小一台电脑,背后要有多少人付出他们的全部心血。 那一台机器啊,很多人都把他们的灵魂倾注在那里。
评分Every machine has the soul of its creator. I enjoy reading this book.
评分excellent book about engineering. although I hate machines, 10 years training has grown in me. I love the debugging part :)
