Devil in the Stack: A Coding Odyssey

with Andrew Smith

Acclaimed journalist and bestselling author Andrew Smith explores the hidden world of code—the algorithms silently shaping our lives. In Devil in the Stack, Smith learns to code himself, tracing a path from Ada Lovelace and Alan Turing to today’s AI pioneers.

Both immersive and unsettling, his journey reveals code as a culture, a force, and a looming question: who—or what—controls our future?

Smith has written for The Sunday Times, The Guardian, and the BBC, and is the author of Moondust and Totally Wired. Based in California, he brings wit, urgency, and clarity to one of the defining issues of our time.
