The path to digital culture. In order for the world to be managed and organized with computers, it must be transferred into the digital realm of machines. Historian David Gugerli narrates the story of this significant migration through concise examples. He describes how technicians, managers, consultants, and users have argued with one another, how they formatted their reality, and what new complexities they created in the process. They connected computers, combined data, rewrote programs, and transformed the computer for staff into a personal computer – why and how, this brilliantly written essay reveals. "Anyone who fears that computers will soon replace 'humans' must read this book." Professor Timothy Lenoir.
