She's female, a former communist, bisexual, old enough to be a twentysomething's mom, and not a nerd. She runs her own computer-consulting business in San Francisco and in <i>Close to the Machine</i> explores a world in which "the real world and its uses no longer matter." This memoir examines the relationship between human and machine, between material and cyberworlds and reminds us that the body and soul exist before and after any machine. The wit Ullman brings to her National Public Radio commentaries shines through in the prose. 474906 1 1 1997 Close to the Machine: Technophilia and Its Discontents total:48|5:10|4:14|3:14|2:8|1:2| 48 166 84 4 486625 0872863328 9780872863323 43 4 3.46 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1175170184m/486625.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/486625.Close_to_the_Machine_Technophilia_and_Its_Discontents 5 0 false Tue Apr 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sat Apr 19 16:56:29 -0700 2008 Sat Apr 19 17:10:02 -0700 2008 more...]]> 486625 0872863328 9780872863323 43 4 3.46 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1175170184m/486625.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/486625.Close_to_the_Machine_Technophilia_and_Its_Discontents 5 0 false Sat Oct 17 20:15:14 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 17 20:18:04 -0700 2009 3 486625 0872863328 9780872863323 43 4 3.46 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1175170184m/486625.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/486625.Close_to_the_Machine_Technophilia_and_Its_Discontents 2 0 false Tue Feb 24 21:21:04 -0800 2009 Tue Feb 24 21:21:04 -0800 2009 486625 0872863328 9780872863323 43 4 3.46 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1175170184m/486625.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/486625.Close_to_the_Machine_Technophilia_and_Its_Discontents 0 0 false Thu Dec 27 11:22:19 -0800 2007 Thu Dec 27 11:24:58 -0800 2007
