Why are you using Joy Division's Unknown Pleasures album as the cover of the book?
- mixmastamyk 10y agoIt is a scientific image, I believe public domain. Happen to love music and you will find that reading the book. The cover is the first clue. ;) (More information is at the bottom of the intro/title page under Acknowledgements).

- cutie 10y agoAre you drunk? You think a data plot has an intimate relationship with music but not software? Sounds like someone is romanticising. ;)
- arethuza 10y agoAn album with tracks called "New Dawn Fades", " "Wilderness" and "Disorder" seems oddly appropriate for a book on Project Management... ;-) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unknown_Pleasures https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unknown_Pleasures
