I think the title of the book reflects the magnitude of what the computer represents to an industry, its employees, and especially to the creators of the machine. As in other industries, lead management spend envision a new product and then initiate the plans to proceed with production. The end result yields a new product. In this book, Kidder did not give the reader any indication to believe the minicomputer was merely a new “product” on the line. As the reader, at times I was persuaded by the thought of the computer having more abilities than possible; at times it almost seems as thought the computer has a functioning “human like” personality of its own. Most importantly, the soul of the machine refers to the core of engineers in their quest to compete with DEC. It refers to their dedication and investment as the teams work together to create a new computer.

Kidder’s writing style is creative, imaginative, and descriptive.
As the reader, I can visualize the building, basement and office cubicles Kidder describes in the book. Throughout the text, I was able to picture the characters and how they each interacted with each other. Kidder was able to include a serious tone to the story yet at times incorporate humor and sarcasm.
3. I favored the “Microkids” characters in this story. Their inexperience in the industry kept them from enduring the comments and jokes directed towards them. I liked their foresight into the project.
