In what way? And why should a computer science student need to know about this Erich Maria Remark dude? Never heard of the guy, lol (and I take pride in that).
Why would anyone take pride in ignorance of any kind, especially without even making any attempt to find out who he was?
Erich Maria Remarque:

Why? Because through his books you can understand World War I and what that did to the psyche of an entire generation of Europe, and, more generally, about the terror of war.
If more people who hadn't experienced it had read it, and, more importantly, understood what he was trying to say, and understood what he was saying when writing about the Nazis, maybe we wouldn't have had World War II.
Maybe, if all of that had been understood, we'd be living in a better world today.
Sometimes I despair of you, Davef.
