Synopsis
Katie Hafner, reporter for the New York Times, comes from a family of truly gifted musicians and is a clumsy, but dedicated pianist. She grew up listening to her father, a physicist and talented pianist, play the piano and expound on Glenn Gould’s interpretations of Bach. Hafner is the author of four books: Cyberpunk: Outlaws and Hackers on the Computer Frontier (with John Markoff), The House at the Bridge: A Story of Modern Germany , Where Wizards Stay Up Late: The Origins of the Internet (with Matthew Lyon), and The Well: A Story of Love, Death and Real Life in the Seminal Online Community .
