Devices of the Soul: Battling for Our Selves in an Age of Machines

O'Reilly, 2007

"Self-forgetfulness is the reigning temptation of the technological era. This is why we so readily give our assent to the absurd proposition that a computer can add two plus two, despite the obvious fact that it can do nothing of the sort--not if we have in mind anything remotely resembling what we do when we add numbers. In the computer's...

Hack Proofing Sun Solaris 8

Syngress Publishing, 2001

Mike Meyers' A+ Guide to Managing and Troubleshooting PCs, Second Edition

McGraw-Hill, 2007

I started writing computer books for the simple reason that no one wrote the kind of books I wanted to read.

I believed...
