Read Ellen Ullman's "The Bug," an excellent novel[1] about one man's fight against a C bug.

- carapace 4y ago> In 1984, at the dawn of the personal-computer era, novice software tester Roberta Walton stumbles across a bug. She brings it to its inadvertent creator, longtime programmer Ethan Levin, and the two embark on a hunt for the elusive bug
- prepend 4y agoThis was such a good and interesting book. There aren’t many solid novels I’ve found where the protagonist is a programmer and the novel is about software itself. Ullman spends a lot of time talking about Conway’s Game of Life and I’ve regretted not spending more time playing with it IRL.
