Description:

This book offers a bold departure from conventional clean code ideals, embracing the aesthetics of early hacker culture and the literary nature of programming. A historical case study of Henley, a poetry generator by Paul Graham and Robert Tappan Morris, the book delves into Lisp, hacker culture, and the Markov space of Paradise Lost.
