This is 'the Word' -- one man's word, certainly -- about the art (and artifice) of the state of our computer-centric existence. And considering that the 'one man' is Neal Stephenson, 'the hacker Hemingway' ('Newsweek') -- acclaimed novelist, pragmatist, seer, nerd-friendly philosopher, and nationally bestselling author of groundbreaking literary works ('Snow Crash, Cryptonomicon, ' etc. , etc. ) -- the word is well worth hearing. Mostly well-reasoned examination and partial rant, Stephenson's 'In the Beginning… was the Command Line' is a thoughtful, irreverent, hilarious treatise on the cyber-culture past and present; on operating system tyrannies and downloaded popular revolutions; on the Internet, Disney World, Big Bangs, not to mention the meaning of life itself.
