The massively bestselling account of the titanic struggle to dominate a machine ...
The making of the 32-bit mini komputer, eagle, was a colossus of an enterprise, demanding the waking hours and sleeping thoughts of a brilliant and aggresive team of young computer wizards who worked for the multi-million-dollar American company, Data General.
They were given one year: day-by-day, wire-by-wire, the 'microkids' traced and retraced Eagle's labyrinthine arteries, fought back at its tantrums and wooed its obedience. It forced them to the limits of their endurance.
'Kidder has written with a reporter's eye, a novelist's heart and a technician's understanding...brilliant, concise and original'-
PLAYBOY
'All the incredible complexity and chaos and exploitation and loneliness and strange, half-mad beaty of this field'-
ROBERT PIRSIG, AUTHOR OF ZEN AND THE ART OF MOTORCYCLE MAINTENANCE
'You are going to have a marvelous time reading Tracy Kidder's book... A double barreled success'-
