"
10 PRINT is a book about a one-line Commodore 64 BASIC program, published in
November 2012.
We’ve updated this page in late 2022: Happy 10th anniversary to
10 PRINT,
which is still in print as a paperback! Book purchases support the nonprofit
organizations The Electronic Literature Organization (to which all royalties
are being donated) and The MIT Press, the book's publisher.
This book takes a single line of code—the extremely concise BASIC program for
the Commodore 64 inscribed in the title—and uses it as a lens through which to
consider the phenomenon of creative computing and the way computer programs
exist in culture. The authors of this collaboratively written book treat code
not as merely functional but as a text—in the case of
10 PRINT, a text that
appeared in many different printed sources—that yields a story about its
making, its purpose, its assumptions, and more. They consider randomness and
regularity in computing and art, the maze in culture, the popular BASIC
programming language, and the highly influential Commodore 64 computer."
