“Let me go out on a limb and suggest that those who see hints of a new class ideology developing around information technology are not necessarily wild-eyed. "Bit-twiddlers" are neither exactly proletariat nor bourgeoisie.

As a rough generalization, they value science and technological problem-solving elegance equally at least with profit.”
