有点意思

作者将程序与道、禅等东方哲学（实际上主要是咱中国这边的啦）结合起来，出版过三本类似风格的书，the Tao of Programming, the Zen of Programming 以及计算机寓言 - 信息时代的启示。感觉 the Tao of Programming 这本最佳。能将程序都推至道、禅的境界，着实不易。
我喜欢的精彩段落：
"When you have learned to snatch the error code from the trap frame, itwill be time for you to leave."
Grand Master Turing once dreamed that he was a machine. When he awoke heexclaimed: "I don't know whether I am Turing dreaming that I am amachine, or a machine dreaming that I am Turing!"
Hardware met Software on the road to Changtse. Software said: "You arethe Yin and I am the Yang. If we travel together we will become famousand earn vast sums of money." And so the pair set forth together, thinkingto conquer the world.
Presently, they met Firmware, who was dressed in tattered rags, andhobbled along propped on a thorny stick. Firmware said to them: "The Taolies beyond Yin and Yang. It is silent and still as a pool of water. Itdoes not seek fame, therefore nobody knows its presence. It does not seeksfortune, for it is complete within itself. It exists beyond space andtime."
