Future Fictions Lab : Reverse-Engineering TomorrowIn the Beginning Was the Command Line by Neal StephensonThis collection of excerpts from Neal Stephenson's "In the Beginning...Was the Command Line" explores the evolution and nature of computer operating systems. Stephenson uses analogies, particularly comparing OS interfaces to cars and tools, to discuss the user experience and the underlying technical complexities. He contrasts Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs), seen as more user-friendly but potentially limiting, with Command Line Interfaces (CLIs), which offer greater power and transparency but require more technical skill. The text also examines the cultural implications of different OS philosophies, highlighting the "mindshare" battle between commercial giants like Apple and Microsoft and the open-source movement embodie...

SCIFI SNAKEp. 110: Neal Stephenson, CryptonomiconCryptonomicon er et vendepunkt i Neal Stephensons forfatterskab. Her forlader han den postmoderne cyberpunk, der kendetegner halvfemserhovedværkerne Snow Crash og The Diamond Age. Nu startede en periode med lange komplekse historiske romaner. Han skriver stadig umiskendeligt Nealsk, men i Cryptonomicon er emnet historisk og kontemporær kryptografi, tilsat konspirationer og en kæmpe guldskat.
Peak Internet Hype
Cryptonomicon udkom i 1999 i en tid, hvor internethypen peakede. Startups kunne hente risikovillige investorpenge i spandevis. Hvis du var i branchen led du konstant af FOMO: Fear Of Missing Out.
