Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. "The most important book about technology and labor since Nomadland." On a December night in 2024, an AI model began writing code that wasbetter than most human programmers could produce. Within hours, engineersacross the world were staring at their screens, confronting a questionnone of them were prepared for: What am I for? THE LAST PROGRAMMER is a sweeping, deeply reported work ofnarrative nonfiction that follows five people across five continents asthey navigate the most dramatic disruption in the history of thetechnology profession. From a junior developer in Lagos locked out of the career she trainedfor, to a sixty-seven-year-old veteran in Singapore who may be the lastperson alive who understands the code that runs the world's banks-Francesco Malila captures the human drama of an industry in freefallwith the intimacy of a novel and the rigor of an economic treatise. Drawing on more than two hundred interviews across fourteencountries, Malila-himself a programmer of nearly twenty years-traceshow AI coding tools went from novelty to necessity in less than threeyears, gutting the apprenticeship pipeline, enabling a florist to buildher own software in a weekend, and forcing an entire generation toreckon with the automation of their identity. Inside you'll discover: Why junior developer jobs vanished almost overnight-and what replaced themThe "Compiler Argument" that programmers told themselves, and why it was wrongHow "vibe coding" let non-programmers build real software for the first timeThe tractor analogy that predicts what comes next-and who gets hurtThe "Infinite Ten" engineers replacing entire teams single-handedlyThe saddlepoint curve that maps the profession's future Part economic history, part reportage, part meditation on craft andobsolescence, THE LAST PROGRAMMER asks the questions that everyknowledge worker will soon face: What happens when the machines getgood enough? What do we owe the people displaced by progress? And whatremains of us when the thing that defined us is taken away?
