A powerful and persuasive polemic, arguing for the importance of aesthetics in computing. Defining beauty as the mating of simplicity and power, Gelernter draws analogies with the design of cars and of bridges, and shows how the most innovative minds in computing, from Alan Turing onwards, have always been obsessed by elegance.
