Steven Levy, a renowned American journalist, embarked on a fascinating career journey in the 1970s as a senior editor at New Jersey Monthly. His most intriguing assignment during this period was to track down the legendary Einstein's stolen brain, a quest that culminated in the publication of his article, "I Found Einstein's Brain," in August 1978.
Levy's interest in technology was piqued in 1982, when he authored a groundbreaking Rolling Stone story on computer hackers, subsequently immersing himself in the world of computer innovation. This marked the beginning of a prolific writing career, with Levy publishing numerous books on the subject, including:
* "Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution" (1984),a seminal work that chronicled the early days of computer hacking
* "Artificial Life" (1992),an exploration of the emerging field of artificial intelligence
* "Crypto" (2001),a comprehensive examination of cryptography and its significance in the digital age
* "Facebook: The Inside Story" (2020),a revealing account of the social media giant's origins and evolution
In addition to his technology-focused writings, Levy also penned "The Unicorn's Secret" (1988),a book about the enigmatic Ira Einhorn, a figure shrouded in mystery and controversy.
