In the Process, Barry gives the reader an eclectic lesson in the history of the computer industry and a revealing took at the way that techies think. " --Simson L. Garfinkel, Christian Science Monitor "A serious study of the language of the new technocracy." --William Safire, The New York Times Magazine
