Talking of novels. lemme pitch in as well,

1) This book long been branded as "piece of anarchist literature" by purists, is infact taught at most architectural colleges as part of their curriculum, albeit it has got nuthin to do with arch?

2) Written by one of the most famous game strategist in the world, this work of non fiction unfolds the saga behind the "Crash of AT&T" in early 90's, perhaps also one of the first e books to come out on Internet.

3) Who recieved citation for his work which said "for writing that upholds the fragile experience of the individual against the barbaric arbitrariness of history"?

4) He wrote only one book, but it embodied his atheist principles to hoot, its preface read something like this
"To reveal art and conceal the artist is art’s aim.
The critic is he who can translate into another manner or a new material his impression of beautiful things.
The highest as the lowest form of criticism is a mode of autobiography. ....."
Identify the author and his work.


Morpheus
ps answers tomorrow

The Fountainhead - Ayn Rand would be my guess. Amazing piece of work...just amazing...


Morpheus: Qs 2,3 and 4 are good ones man highly intriguing...sadly not able to come up with answers for any of them right now...

Answers
Yeah Ashwin u right abt Fountainhead, (Roark,Keating,Toohey,Wynand jus dont look like ppl from early 20th century :idea: simply amazing!)

2) Okie this is a tough one, "Hacker Crackdown" by Bruce Sterling this unfolds the events which lead to famous Operation by special forces and Telco officials who led US wide busting of hackers and System Operators (SYSOPS)

3) Now this is jus current affairs funda, this was the citation given to this years Nobel Prize winner Imre Kertész

4) Hmm now this shud have been a sitter , but alas atheism is on decline these days
answer is Oscar Wilde and work being discussed is perhaps the most controversial book of early 20th century "Picture of the Dorian Gray"


Will be back with more questions

Hey Guys,
Looks like my kinda place here. I can see some really good qs here. But some are google-friendly. We have to be wary abt that. Anyways, I guess its pretty much ok to include them too for gyan-sake.
