Neal Stephenson, author of the sprawling and engaging
Cryptonomicon, has written a manifesto that could be spoken by a
character from that brilliant book. Primarily, In the Beginning
... Was the Command Line discusses the past and future of personal
computer operating systems. "It is the fate of manufactured goods
to slowly and gently depreciate as they get old," he writes, "but
it is the fate of operating systems to become free." While others
in the computer industry express similarly dogmatic statements,
Stephenson charms the reader into his way of thinking, providing
anecdotes and examples that turn the pages for you. Stephenson is
a techie, and he's writing for an audience of coders and hackers
in Command Line.
