In the Beginning was the Command Line

I love Neal Stephenson's classic essay on how we relate to computers and operating systems, but couldn't find a version online that had a nice reading experience.

Note: I'm assuming since this is available freely online it's cool to present it here as long as the author is attributed. If I'm wrong, please let me know.
