Software is an engineering material that has transformed human society in profound ways. It can truly work marvels鈥攅xcept when it doesn鈥檛 work. Part of the reason is that software is strange stuff to build with. It鈥檚 made of nothing, can do almost anything, but only does exactly what it鈥檚 told. Try Turning It Off and On Again reveals why it fails so often.

Each chapter of this lively and informative book opens with a question everyone has asked at one time or another, such as 鈥淐an you fix my printer?鈥�; 鈥淲hat鈥檚 up with the Wi-Fi?鈥�; 鈥淗ave you tried turning it off and back on again?鈥�; 鈥淚s AI going to destroy my job?鈥�; and 鈥淲here鈥檚 my flying car?鈥� Using them as her points of departure, Le Goues reveals why those gremlins that crash our apps and cause our laptops to behave strangely can鈥檛 be attributed to technology alone. They are the byproducts of countless human decisions, miscommunications, questionable assumptions, and economic considerations that software engineers navigate every day. Along the way, Le Goues shares the fascinating history behind the software we increasingly rely on.

A user鈥檚 guide for the perplexed, Try Turning It Off and On Again explains what software is, how it鈥檚 made, and why its bizarre behavior has as much to do with human nature as it does with code.
