Selected Writings on Computing: A personal Perspective

The narrative reflects on a transformative period beginning in 1973, marked by the author's shift from a collaborative university environment to a solitary research routine. This solitude heightened the significance of written communication, leading to the creation of the "EWD series," a collection of scientific correspondence facilitated by copiers. The author initially felt uneasy about publishing selections from this series but gradually embraced the idea, emphasizing the importance of variety and representation in the chosen works.
