And considering that the \"one man\" is Neal Stephenson, \"the hacker Hemingway\" (Newsweek) -- acclaimed novelist, pragmatist, seer, nerd-friendly philosopher, and nationally bestselling author of groundbreaking literary works (Snow Crash, Cryptonomicon, etc., etc.) -- the word is well worth hearing. Mostly well-reasoned examination and partial rant, Stephenson's In the Beginning... was the Command Line is a thoughtful, irreverent, hilarious treatise on the cyber-culture past and present; on operating system tyrannies and downloaded popular revolutions; on the Internet, Disney World, Big Bangs, not to mention the meaning of life itself.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Neal Stephenson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52370198003994,"sku":"9780380815937","price":145.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/2699\/9322\/files\/61QrFGMCMPL._SY522.jpg?v=1781779363","url":"https:\/\/medicampus.store\/products\/in-the-beginning-was-the-command-line","provider":"medicampus.store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
