Title: The Second Self: Computers and the Human Spirit by Sherry Turkle ISBN: 0-671-46848-0 Publisher: Simon & Schuster Pub. Date: 01 June, 1984 Format: Hardcover Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $17.95 |
Average Customer Rating: 4.75 (4 reviews)
Rating: 4
Summary: A little bit of an open door.
Comment: A classic in the field of human/computer interaction, it suffers a bit from its age (although I was delighted to read about the way children interacted with Merlin and Simon, given that I was a child who had interacted with both of the above). Children are so much more saturated with computers and computer technology than when the book was written, that I wonder how the observations will have changed.
_The Second Self_ is divided into three parts:
Part I: Growing Up with Computers: The Animation of the Machine
Part II: The New Computer Cultures: The Mechanization of the Mind
Part III: Into a New Age
Rating: 5
Summary: A classic - every researcher should have read!
Comment: I'm a fan of Turkle, so I just loved it. It's just one of the first deep books written about human-computer interaction.
Rating: 5
Summary: Priceless Early Look at Hackers with "The Right Stuff"
Comment: This is "the" book that described the true origin of "hacking" as in "pushing the edge of the envelope" by writing a complex program in six lines of code instead of ten. This is a really superior piece of work about computer cultures and the people that belong to them. It is a wonderfully readable book with magnificent insights into the psychology of the young people at the bleeding edge of the computer frontier.
