520 $aThe last twenty years have brought us the rise of the internet, the development of artificial intelligence, the ubiquity of once unimaginably powerful computers, and the thorough transformation of our economy and society. Through itall, Ellen Ullman worked inside that rising culture of technology, and in Life in Code she continues to tell the story - first begun in Close to the Machine - of what she has lived and witnessed. It is necessarily the story of digital technology's loss of innocence as it entered the cultural mainstream, and it is a personal reckoning with all that has changed, and so much that hasn't. - Back cover.
