Well, today is the day. I'm finally "sorta happy enough to pull the trigger" on publishing the book I've been working on for a very long time. It's a technical history book: by a techie, for techies (although I think that between all the code samples, there is plenty of meat for "tech-adjacent" and "tech-interested" people). It tells the story of the Lisp programming language, invented by a genius called John McCarthy in 1958 and today still going strong (to the extent that many people see it as the most powerful programming language in existence).

And this is a time for shameless self promotion, even if you don't plan on buying the book, please repost :-). Self-publishing is self-marketing, so there we go.

If you do buy and read it, please let me know how you liked it!

The book landing page, https://berksoft.ca/gol, has links to all outlets where you can buy the book,

@cdegroot A great angle for telling the history of Lisp.

Is the ebook DRM-free?

@amoroso Yes. DRM is stupid and I won't have anything to do with it.

I'm also now selling a (DRM-free) PDF (see the book site, berksoft.ca/gol, for a link), I'm not a big fan of technical books in epub and this is, I think, a much better reading experience.

@cdegroot That's great, thanks.
