'Masterful . . . [Thompson] illuminates both the fascinating coders and the bewildering technological forces that are transforming the world in which we live.' David Grann, author of The Lost City of Z
Facebook’s algorithms shaping the news. Uber’s cars flocking the streets. Revolution on Twitter and romance on Tinder. We live in a world constructed of computer code. Coders – software programmers – are the people who built it for us. And yet their worlds and minds are little known to outsiders.
In Coders, Wired columnist Clive Thompson presents a brilliantly original anthropological reckoning with the most influential tribe in today’s world, interrogating who they are, how they think, what they value, what qualifies as greatness in their world, and what should give us pause.
One of the most prominent journalists writing on technology today, Clive Thompson takes us into the minds of coders, the most quietly influential people on the planet, in a journey into the heart of the machine – and the men and women who made it.

But specially to the rest of the readers as it offers the opportunity to know better and closely the lives and people behind the latest development in software technology, their stories background and emergency, putting a new perspective on a social prestablished geek mindset or impression which is most of the cases it is not, the gender and racial panorama, this is already part of our everyday life as we use technology devices everywhere and knowing what type of people is behind this and what sort of stories have made this possible is thrilling to everyone, you might even be a sort of a coder or someone right next to you without knowing it
