77.0. "Heros of the Revolution" by REX::MINOW () Wed Nov 21 1984 08:48
HACKERS
Heros of the Computer Revolution
a book by Steven Levy.
(Anchor Press, Doubleday).
"Beneath their often unimposing exteriors, they were adventurers,
visionaries, risk-takers, artists ... and the ones who most clearly
saw why the computer was a truly revolutionary tool. ...
"As I talked to these digital explorers, ... I found a common element,
a common philosophy which seemed tied to the elegantly flowing logic
of the computer itself. It was a philosophy of sharing, openness,
decentralization, and getting your hands on machines at any cost --
to improve the machines, and to improve the world."
