The Fuzzy and the Techie: Why the Liberal Arts Will Rule the Digital World, Scott Harley, 2017, hardcover.
The terms "fuzzy" and "techie" are used to respectively describe students of the humanities and social sciences (the fuzzies) and students of the engineering or hard sciences (the techies) at Stanford University.
The divide between fuzzies and techies is a modern incarnation of the chasm physicist and novelist Charles Percy Snow (wiki) lamented had formed between those in the humanities and the sciences in his famous essay "The Two Cultures."
Scott Hartley: "As a fuzzy, I have grown up in a techie world. I ahve witnessed the need for collaboration between fuzzies and techies as a child in Palo Algo, as an undergraduate at Stanford, then as an employee of Google and Facebook, and thereafter as a venture capitalist on Sand Hill Road.
