There is probably something weird happening when people entertain
themselves with the accomplishments of a bygone era.

1) The 1981 book "The Soul Of A New Machine" was republished in 2000.

2) The 1984 book "Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution" was
republished in 2001.

3) The 1994 book "Show Stopper!: The Breakneck Race to Create Windows
NT and the Next" was republished in 2009.

Just an observation.
