"Hackers, Heroes of the Computer Revolution. Chapters 1 and 2" by Steven Levy is a fascinating look into the early days of computer science. The book provides an in-depth examination of the pioneers, whom Levy calls "hackers," who laid the foundation for the modern computing. These individuals believed in the concept of free and open access to computers, shared information, and were driven by a pure fascination for the programming process rather than for financial gain. The first two chapters of the book delve into the origins of this "hacker ethic" at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) during late 1950s and early 1960s, painting a picture of a close-knit community of passionate and innovative thinkers.
