Remember sometime ago I posted that I will read this book called "At the Beginning... Was the Command Line"? Well, apparently it is a long essay that was originally published online and got printed because it is popular. You can get it here:

If you want to know the author, Mr Neal Stephenson, a little better, you can read his Slashdot interview (he sounds like a cool guy):

Another little story is about another book in my want-to-read list, Neuromancer. I was moody Friday evening and didn't feel like going home directly from work but too moody to go to crowded place. So I went to a second-hand bookstore near my home. As I was browsing the SF section, I saw "Neuromancer". Wow! I quickly fished out the book... and saw a fantasy-like cover, which forced me to read the title more carefully. It was actually "Necromancer". Geh.
