Life in Code: A Personal History of Technology Hardcover August 8, 2017
Ellen Ullman's "Close to the Machine: Technophilia and Its Discontents" is a remarkable memoir that gives the reader a candid glimpse into the life of a software programmer and engineer. With her eloquent, erudite, and often humorous writing style, Ullman describes the cyclical rise-and-fall of the hitech industry, the internet, and the start-up fever. The book is a collection of short stories and essays on loosely connected themes, best described as "Computer and Internet Technology—Where it all started? Where is it now? Where is it going?". Ullman's personal life is intertwined with her observations on technology and the industry's evolution, which adds depth and emotion to her storytelling. Despite her successes, towards the end of the book, she gets into a tone of a bitter old-timer abandoned by time itself, which detracts from the reading pleasure. Overall, the book is an emotional but pleasant déjà vu for those who witnessed the technology industry's early days.
