Black Software

I enjoyed this book a lot. If you, like me, have a visceral reaction to fragmentary sentences, you may find it difficult to get into, but the writing remains gripping and the topics discussed are absolutely fascinating; throw out your grammar purism and learn.

I've been involved with high technology, especially networked technology, my whole life, but I hadn't heard of most of the people this book discusses, nor their projects. I think any technologist could benefit from being more informed about the intersection of racial politics and technology, and this book does a good job bringing that intersection into the spotlight.
