       | >>In this book, Edward Ashford Lee makes a bold claim: that the
       | creators of digital technology have an unsurpassed medium for
       | creativity. Technology has advanced to the point where progress
       | seems limited not by physical constraints but the human
       | imagination. Writing for both literate technologists and numerate
       | humanists, Lee makes a case for engineering--creating technology
       | --as a deeply intellectual and fundamentally creative process.
       | Explaining why digital technology has been so transformative and
       | so liberating, Lee argues that the real power of technology stems
       | from its partnership with humans.<<
