Close to the Machine, Ellen Ullman's cult classic memoir of the world of computers in the 1980s and early 1990s is an insight into a world we rarely see up-close but which permeates all of our lives ever more deeply. Includes a new introduction by Jaron Lanier, author of You are Not a Gadget (Penguin).
Ellen Ullman's Close to the Machine, a memoir of her time as a software engineer during the early years of the internet revolution, became a cult classic and established her as a writer of considerable talent; with her second book, The Bug, she became an acclaimed and vital novelist; By Blood is her third. She lives in San Francisco.
