Working
by Robert A. Caro
A quick Wellfleet rereading of this fascinating memoir, partly preparation for viewing “Turn Every Page” (edited by my cousin Molly), but mostly because I’m trying to find a better framework for a short book, which is perhaps a pair of short books, exploring what computer science might be if the sort of research that most interests me were near the center, and not an obscure, unfashionable backwater.
