Hear Vikram Chandra read from his book Geek Sublime: The Beauty of Code, the Code of Beauty published in 2014 by Graywolf Press.
We’ll talk about artificial language, reverberation, architectural clarity, big balls of mud, and, of course, beauty.
This is the first book I’ve read that is listed on its back cover as COMPUTERS/LITERATURE.
