My first book about computers

Views: 147

OMG, by accident I found first book about computers in my life. It was published in 1991, when I was 5 or 6 years old. It is fictional story about some guy traveling in the City of Computers, where their police is trying to catch some virus program called Cadabra. I read this book a few times :)
Maybe I became programmer because of it.


I'm so touched

Looking back at books you've read as a child is time well spent. :)

I like the image with the chips looking like cobblestones.

Is that the title of the book on the monitor? How would that translate into English?

I think it's keyboard buttons, not chips :) Title says "And I was in City of Computers". And there was second part of this book, called "Professor's Fortran Enciclopedia", om this page 6 year children will know is algoritm: http://img.feels.ru/uploads/new2/141/11.jpg

Fun part is that this book was very popular, although computers were extremly rare and expensive back in 1991 in Russia. I was bought my first computer only 8 years later :( In 1991 I coludn't even dream about it.

All this story returns me to my thoughts about fate and predetermination. Could one book in childhood define mine future profession?

Maybe this plus computers being a luxury made you want to program even more. :cheers:
