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.
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.
幾天前在黑客與畫傢的評論裏看到的這本書,於是買來看瞭一下 最近還算是比較清閑,花瞭兩天的時間看完瞭這本書,總體感覺很不錯,從這本書裏,我們可以看齣我們電腦的處理器是怎麼誕生的,而且還包括瞭與它配套的軟硬件接口,當然這是那個時代的背景所導緻的處理器+OS+SOFT...
評分從頭至尾,寫瞭鷹計算機的艱辛曆程,看瞭挺久的,今天終於是看完瞭。看到最後不經讓人唏噓,一段傳奇的曆史,背後默默的付齣者又有幾人會被記住。實現自己的人生的究竟是什麼? 自我和金錢。 這句話在最後無疑很好的解釋瞭這個故事。

excellent book about engineering. although I hate machines, 10 years training has grown in me. I love the debugging part :)
评分很好的一本書,描述計算機先驅們工作
评分讓人心潮澎湃的一本書
