Tracy Kidder



         


Tracy Kidder (born November 12, 1945) is an American author of multiple books. Kidder may be best known, especially within the computing community, for his Pulitzer Prize-winning The Soul of a New Machine, an account of the development of Data General's Eclipse/MV minicomputers.

One side effect of that book was to popularize throughout the computer world the term canard, which had been in-house slang at Data General, with the meaning "mistaken and confused belief".
