The short explanation is that I go much deeper into the workings of a CPU using the Intel 8080 as a simple example. I’ll discuss the differences between the two editions in detail in a future blog entry. ![]() ![]() I began revising the book in January 2021, and in the process, the 2nd edition came out to be about 70 pages longer than the 1st edition. However, the 1st edition was originally published in 1999 and it was definitely showing its age. ![]() Through this steady progression up the hill of knowledge, I employ a minimum of metaphors, analogies, and silly illustrations, and instead use the language and symbols of the actual engineers who design and build computers.īecause Code uses old technologies to illuminate the workings of digital computers, in one sense the book didn’t need to be “updated” in any way. My intent in the 2nd edition is the same as the 1st edition: I start with very simple concepts but slowly build to a very deep understanding of the workings of digital computers.

Set in the twenty-fifth century, the story employs advanced biotechnology, the presence of telepathy, massive corporate power struggles, a highly secretive and highly dangerous new chemical compound, and the common practice of personal teleportation, a skill uncovered and perfected by the human race over the last century. What this classic SF tale may lack in nuanced elegance, it more than makes up for with a headlong plunge into exciting space adventure. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Address: c/o Peters Fraser Dunlop, 34 Russell St, London WC2B 5MA, England. see Maclay, Pecking order in human society George. ![]() Paul Getty and His Heirs, 1995 Blood Royal: The Spencers and the Royals, 1999 The Cult of Violence, 2001.

That’s a lot of noise and networks would sit up and take notice if HoN fans got together and got vocal. ![]() ![]() If you want a network’s attention fans must go to them (Google for contact info). Fan enthusiam counts, but it takes a lot of fan noise to get network attention. If you want to impact whether the HoN comes to the screen contact your favorite network and let them know you want HoN.

Kristin and I hawould vastly prefer a TV series, BUT we have zero control over whether a movie or TV series actually happens. It is their responsibility to create a screenplay or a pilot for a movie or a TV series, and then to either produce that movie or sell the package to a network for a TV series. HoN has been optioned by Davis Films since fall 2011. Hello all, as many of you have asked about why I don’t make the HoN into a movie or a tv series I thought this would be a great time to remind/explain to our amazing, passionate, HoN familiy that Kristin and I are not movie producers or TV network executives, which means we cannot make the HoN into anything (except more books, which I do not have planned for the foreseeable future).
