Features: The authors calmly depict the rise and fall of the IT world, using literature to convey a profound message. What is this enduring "way"? Is it "Digital Survival," or "Only the Madmen Can Survive"? It must be noted that survival or destruction is a dilemma faced by every IT hero. They deeply understand the technological driving force of Moore's Law, pushing their personal energy to the limit in a state of constant anxiety. However, when soaring against the wind, they realize that the cheese in their hands has been quietly snatched away by some new industry titan. This is a true history of IT heroes. As one of the most influential independent critics in China's information industry, the authors have spent years researching thousands of Chinese and English texts, finally crafting this IT history. They do not seek to make this book as unchangeable as the Lüshi Chunqiu, but rather hope it can provide a fair description of each IT hero, allowing readers to gain an unmisleading understanding. The IT should be a history of people. Those who have contributed to the industry are all worthy of the title of hero. It is precisely their rich and diverse achievements that have made the industry so magnificent. Some set the tone for the industry with their unique insights, while others turn the entire industry around with groundbreaking inventions. Regardless of whether their final outcome is poverty or wealth, they should be celebrated in the industry's history with bold and vivid descriptions. The authors have called this endeavor a "civilizational adventure." Its innovative format and the selection of subjects are commendable attempts, worthy of our applause!
