The ThoughtWorks Anthology 2
- Share to:
I love anthologies. When I was a lad, I was a huge fan of science fiction. I was lucky to have access to a rich ecosystem of sci-fi magazines. Every year, each magazine would take its very best stories and anthologize them, presenting the cream of the crop.
I whiled away many hours reading those best-of collections. I loved those anthologies because each story had a different author; the change in style was refreshing as I moved from story to story. I loved the fact that each story has its own universe, with its own assumptions and context.
In later years, I edited and contributed to several (nonfiction) anthologies, including the first The ThoughtWorks Anthology [Inc08]. In the rapidly changing world of software, anthologies fill an important temporal niche, between blogs and magazines at one end and single-topic books at the other. Anthologies like this one represent a snapshot in time. With multiple authors and themes, they can cover process, technology, philosophy, and many more ideas currently at the forefront.
