Zuboff, Shoshana. In the Age of the Smart Machine: The Future of Work and Power. New York: Basic Books, 1988.
There is an extensive computer culture, framed around programming, dating from the seventies, with a spillover into net culture. See the On-line Jargon File to get a feel for the critical and cynical attitudes within this hacker culture, its delight in language, its marked impatience with bullshit, its wonderful sense of humour. Two sample definitions:
ACK: /ak/ interj. 1. [from the ASCII mnemonic for 0000110]
Acknowledge. Used to register one's presence. An appropriate response to {ping} or {ENQ}.
and
ABEND: [ABnormal END] /o'bend/, /*-bend'/ n. Abnormal termination (of software); {crash}; {lossage}. Derives from an error message on the IBM 360; used jokingly by hackers but seriously mainly by {code grinder}s.Usually capitalized, but may appear as `abend'. Hackers will try to persuade you that ABEND is called `abend' because it is what system operators do to the machine late on Friday when they want to call it a day, and hence derives from the German `Abend' = Evening'.
