Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Paperback. Thread Ripper is a double-stranded novel about weaving, programming, and pioneering women. A tapestry-weaver in her thirties embarks on her first big commission: a digitally woven tapestry for a public building. As she works, devoting all her waking hours to the commission, she draws engrossing connections between the stuff that life is made from DNA, plant tissue, algorithms, text, and textile and that which disrupts it radiation, pests, entropy, and doubt. In the novels second strand, we meet Ada Lovelace, the 1830s mathematician and pioneer of computer programming, and mythical figures such as Penelope, the faithful wife of Odysseus, who wove and unpicked a shroud to put off her 108 suitors.'A mesmerizing choreography of textile and technology, archive and memory.
