CHAPTER

The Complexity of Writing and Programming

This chapter features a lively debate between a character and Socrates over the implications of writing on understanding and philosophy. It explores the dual nature of language as both a tool and a potential hindrance, drawing parallels between programming and human language while addressing historical gender dynamics in technology. The discussion culminates in an examination of how technology continues to mirror societal biases and influences freedoms within modern contexts.
