Science writer Hapgood's "infinite corridor"refers both to an architectural feature of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Cambridge campus and to the seemingly endless pathway of progress in applied science so often associated with MI. But it is also quirky, has people who are very bright doing things that are sometimes incomprehensible, and who are headstrong. Fortunately, he explains why this must be so, and he does it well.

Up the Infinite Corridor book. Hapgood takes readers inside the minds of engineers and into the. Hapgood takes readers inside the minds of engineers and into the heart of the engineering profession at technology's Mother Church, MIT-a place teeming with arcane knowledge, bizarre projects, and often even more bizarre undergraduates.

In Up the Infinite Corridor, Fred Hapgood explores the mental landscape of engineering a style of thought, a mode of operation, a particular form of creativity that increasingly defines the trajectory of modern life. With the Massachusetts Institute of Technology as his point of reference, Hapgood traces the emergence of the profession from its mud-on-the-boots days preoccupied with canals and roads to its present absorption with cyber-space and micromachines.
