Author Subrata Dasgupta named the two decades from 1970 to 1990 as the second age of computer science to distinguish it from the preceding genesis of the science and the age of the Internet/World Wide Web that followed. This book describes the evolution of computer science in this second age in the form of seven overlapping, intermingling, parallel histories that unfold concurrently in the course of the two decades.

I really wanted to get my bearings on why programs and computers are set up how they are. I work in IT and maintain lots of legacy code.
this book really helped me understand the long arm of history that got programs to where they are, and I wish I could listen to the same author about modern day languages. (this only goes up to like the 80's).
I got used to the code snippets being said line by line and, honestly, it's turned into a useful practice for picturing what the code did.
definitely would recommend this to any starting dev or curious programmer or historian of technology. very fun.

10/10 audiobook about algorithms
Revisado: 08-23-22
I work in IT, and though I'm a newbie at it, I love programming and data structures and algorithms.
I wanted an audiobook that could help me think more algorithmically and this one more than delivers. I can't stop telling people about this book.
And, if you've made it this far, and are interested, consider some Optimal Stopping (Chapter 1) and go ahead and download the sample or buy it. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

The year is 2048. Climate change and bio-warfare have ravaged much of the Earth, and societal meltdown has splintered the US into fragments. But out of the ruins, Northern California has built a thriving culture based on respect for the four sacred things: air, fire, water and earth.

Pagan War and Peace (very worthwhile)

The narrator was amazing. Songs and language and voices were top notch. Give this a listen and you won't regret it.
