'Masterful . . . [Thompson] illuminates both the fascinating coders
and the bewildering technological forces that are transforming the
world in which we live.' David Grann, author of The Lost City of Z
Facebook's algorithms shaping the news. Uber's cars flocking the
streets. Revolution on Twitter and romance on Tinder. We live in a
world constructed of computer code. Coders - software programmers -
are the people who built it for us. And yet their worlds and minds
are little known to outsiders. In Coders, Wired columnist Clive
Thompson presents a brilliantly original anthropological reckoning
with the most influential tribe in today's world, interrogating who
they are, how they think, what they value, what qualifies as
greatness in their world, and what should give us pause. One of the
most prominent journalists writing on technology today, Clive
Thompson takes us into the minds of coders, the most quietly
influential people on the planet, in a journey into the heart of
the machine - and the men and women who made it.
