Abstract
The words “computing” and “software” are sure to create some images in your mind. These images might be of machines or data chips, circuit boards or Boolean algebra, perhaps even sentient machines of the science fiction type. In The Software Arts (2019), Warren Sack argues that they should also be of grammar, logic, and rhetoric; in short, the trivium of the liberal arts.
