Mindblowing texts that makes you go "Aha!"

This book is a unique collection of some of the most important writings ever of understanding the computer - both as a concept in itself and as a machine that has forced us to reinterpret many aspects of everyday life. I found it intriguing reading all the way through, and its one of those books that already bears obvious signs of use - I've written remarks all over, post-it notes are sticking out and the pages have nice round coffee stain decorations. This is definitely one of my best buys ever!
