Unix: A History and a Memoir
by Brian W. Kernighan
StartNowIt's always appreciated when the author gives a detailed description of the office. How it was laid out, who sat next to whom, how people met and gathered, etc. This level of details helps the reader mentally teleport into that moment as if they were truly there. This is probably the 4th time in 2 months that I've seen someone talk about how innovation is rarely planned, it happens unexpectedly. Reminds of the other book in my library: 'Why greatness cannot be planned'. Apparently my friend in NYC lives close to 463 West Street...Expecting a picture soon...I wonder if that's something I should add here, like a 'Resources' tab for all things I collect while reading a book!? hmmm... Started with this book and already loving all the photos and maps Brian is sharing about Bell labs! Arrived; Starting date to be determined soon Purchased the book and waiting for it to arrive
