About this audiobook

Software infrastructure is the invisible middle of computing, the system software beneath every application and above every chip, and this book descends into it and stays: the operating systems, memory managers, file systems, network stacks, databases, and virtual machines that turn one physical machine into many useful ones, described not as plumbing but as a set of arguments, every abstraction an argument about what should be hidden and what should be paid for. The kernel, the machine's resident government: the two-mode border, the system call's toll, the founding lie of the private machine, the interrupt's reflexes, the boot that must be boring, and the patch that eventually requires a reboot. The process, a manufactured life: the state map, the scheduler's bluff, the fork-and-replace grammar, the signal postcards, the descriptor inventory, the limits, the wait-channel census, and the society with its genealogy and estates.
