Про автора
Dr. Jürgen Müller studied history and political science in Trier, Vienna, and Rome, and then ‘accidentally’ found his way into IT. He has spent more than 30 years there, primarily in Europe and the USA. In this book, he combines his extensive international experience in the computer industry with humanities-related questions, resulting in a very rare and worthwhile synthesis.
