Coders by Clive Thompson From revolution on Twitter to romance on Tinder, we live in a world constructed of code - and coders are the ones who built it for us. Acclaimed tech writer Clive Thompson offers an illuminating reckoning with the most powerful tribe in the world today, computer programmers, asking who they are, how they think, and what should give us pause. Along the way, he ponders the morality and politics of code, including its implications for civic life and the economy, and 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.[shortcode] [short-description] • Read about the first coders - brilliant and pioneering women• Read about the ponderings of the morality and politics of code [/short-description][details] Published by Pan Macmillan Written in English Paperback book448 pages ISBN 9781529019001Book measures 19.7x13.2cm [/details] [/shortcode]
