“Part of the fascination,” he said, “is just little boys who never grew up, playing with Erector sets. Engineers just don’t lose that, and if you do lose it, you just can’t be an engineer anymore.”
Tracy Kidder, The Soul of a New Machine

J.G. Ballard

J.G. Ballard, Kingdom Come

Tracy Kidder, The Soul of a New Machine
