Thinking With Tinderbox
The focus of this book is the remarkable practice of using things — paper, notecards, but especially computer software such as Tinderbox — to assist thinking. I am also interested, in turn, in the ways that ideas in art, literature, and philosophical thought shape the systems we use.
I discuss both art and literature in the pages that follow, but this is not to redeem the original sin of science or to uplift the reader. It is simply because some ideas expressed in paintings and novels ought, in my view, to prove useful to software, just as this entire book argues that ideas in software ought to interest painters.
