We tap an icon, and a universe of information appears. We think of software as magic, but what is it, really? This episode travels into the heart of the machine to deconstruct the most fundamental "black box" of our time: code. We'll discover how simple text written by a human is translated into the electrical commands that power our entire digital world.
