O que lanternas, invasão britânica, gatos pretos e gangorras têm a ver com computadores? Em CODE, eles nos mostram as maneiras engenhosas de manipular a linguagem e inventar novos meios de comunicação uns com os outros. E por meio do CODE, vemos como essa engenhosidade e nossa compulsão muito humana para se comunicar impulsionaram as inovações tecnológicas dos últimos dois séculos.
What do flashlights, the British invasion, black cats, and seesaws have to do with computers? In CODE, they show us the ingenious ways we manipulate language and invent new means of communicating with each other. And through CODE, we see how this ingenuity and our very human compulsion to communicate have driven the technological innovations of the past two centuries.
Using everyday objects and familiar language systems such as Braille and Morse code, author Charles Petzold weaves an illuminating narrative for anyone who’s ever wondered about the secret inner life of computers and other smart machines.
