Subtitled "How 26 Lines of Code Changed the World", edited by Torie Bosch and illustrated by Kelly Chudler (can't say that I've heard of them). Summary: ``Programming is behind so much of life today, and this book draws together a group of distinguished thinkers and technologists to reveal the stories and people behind the computer coding that shapes our world. From how university's [sic] databases were set up to recognise only two genders to the first computer worm and the first pop-up ad, the diverse topics reveal the consequences of historical decisions and their long-lasting, profound implications. Pb $34.99'' Lines of code, eh? :-) Abbey's Bookshop: www.abbeys.com.au Disclaimer: I have no connection with them, but I'll likely buy it. -- Dave
