Failed Execution (4/15/2021)
The title of Clive Thompson’s 2019 novel Coders: The Making of a New Tribe and the Remaking of the World promises an analysis of the great feats that computer programmers have made along the journey of creating an up-and-coming industry. Instead, it mainly focuses on all of the faults in the tech industry as well as the flaws of those who comprise it. I am currently a computer science student and I love a good book, so I was excited to pick this one up and see what it was about. In my opinion, the overall concept is good but the writing itself failed to keep my attention.
