Ellen Ullmann has been casting an expert — and sometimes skeptical — eye over the tech world since the dawn of the digital era. Profile by Joy Press.
It is the story of a woman whose life is spinning out of control. Technology becomes her unlikely lifeline. As she navigates this socially flawed and male-dominated world, Ullman shows us the struggle of translating the messiness of human thought into algorithms, and also discovers unexpected beauty in the logic of code.
