In case you ever wondered, this book demonstrates that a single line BASIC program for a Commodore 64 can provoke an entire book about computers, culture, and context.

Ten academics review a single line of code and take it on tangents about programming, art, culture, history, psychology, math, design, and more. Reading this book took me on a delightful walk down memory lane that has provoked further reading.
Super interesting in a nostalgic way, but stretching the analysis of one piece of code a little bit too much (or too academically).
