The Soul Of A New Machine

The Story

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the American Book Award, 'The Soul of a New Machine' was a bestseller on its first publication in 1981. With the touch of an expert thriller writer, Tracy Kidder recounts the feverish efforts of a team of Data General researchers to create a new 32-bit superminicomputer. A compelling account of individual sacrifice and human ingenuity, 'The Soul of a New Machine' endures as the classic chronicle of the computer age and the masterminds behind its technological advances. Tracy Kidder has written a new Introduction to this Modern Library edition.
