Magnificent Meta 4s

“The phenomena surrounding computers are diverse and yield a surprisingly rich base for launching metaphors at individual and group activities. Conversely, classical human endeavors provide an inexhaustible source of metaphor for those of us who are in labor within computation. Such relationships between society and device are not new, but the incredible growth of the computer's influence (both real and implied) lends this symbiotic dependency a vitality like a gangly youth growing out of his clothes within an endless puberty.”

—Alan J Perlis

Yet Another Tremendous Tale

“On 27 April 1935 Joyce sent Lucia Tolstoy's story, ‘How Much Land Does a Man Need?’ He said of it (Letters, ed. Gilbert, p 364) that in his opinion it was ‘the greatest story that the literature of the world knows’.”

(James Joyce Letters, ed. Ellmann, p 354)
