商品描述

This book recounts the adventures of Louis Pouzin who invented one of the core elements for transmitting data over today's Internet, the datagram. He also created one of the most widely used computer programming languages, the Shell; and is currently, at age 88, a leader in the development of a new Internet, RINA.
Louis Pouzin is not well known in his own country, France, but is acclaimed by his peers internationally. He was ignored in France for years although he is one of the very few French scientists who has met Queen Elizabeth II three times. This lack of appreciation on the part of the French public is also due to the fact that, despite the motto "publish or perish" current in scientific circles, he has an impressive list of scientific publications but only one book in English, to present his incredible achievement carried out with an exceptional team: the Cyclades project.
This book is the story of a life and a team. It is the journey of a visionary intellectual who has always been one step ahead and has fully adapted to the 21st century though born into a very modest family in a small village in central France at the beginning of the 20th century... What makes Louis Pouzin so special is that he is a leader and decision-maker who knows how to attract the right people to get projects done. He never admits defeat, even when short-sighted politicians absurdly order him to scrap his breakthroughs.
In its making, this book which is written for everyone interested in the true history of the Web, has strictly respected the basic rules of any journalistic investigation: interviews with those who made history, cross-referencing of sources, and documentary research.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本書講述了路易·普辛(Louis Pouzin)的冒險故事,他發明了當今互聯網數據傳輸的核心元素之一——數據報(datagram)。他還創造了最廣泛使用的計算機程式語言之一——Shell;目前,88歲的他仍然是新互聯網RINA開發的領導者。

路易·普辛在他的祖國法國並不為人所知,但在國際上卻受到同行的讚譽。儘管他是少數三次會見伊莉莎白二世女王的法國科學家之一,但在法國多年來卻被忽視。法國公眾對他的缺乏欣賞,部分原因在於,儘管科學界流行著「發表或滅亡」的座右銘,他擁有令人印象深刻的科學出版物清單,但只有一本英文書籍,來展示他與一支卓越團隊共同完成的驚人成就:Cyclades計畫。

這本書是關於一個生命和一個團隊的故事。它講述了一位具有遠見的知識分子的旅程,他始終走在時代的前面,並完全適應了21世紀,儘管他出生於20世紀初法國中部一個非常普通的家庭……路易·普辛之所以特別,是因為他是一位領導者和決策者,懂得如何吸引合適的人來完成項目。他從不承認失敗,即使短視的政治家荒謬地命令他放棄他的突破。

在創作過程中,這本書是為所有對網路真實歷史感興趣的人而寫的,並嚴格遵循任何新聞調查的基本規則:對歷史人物的訪談、來源的交叉參考和文獻研究。
