This was really fascinating read for a young nerd around very early 1990's.
- chii 11y agoahh, no wonder that name sounded so familiar!
- stephendicato 11y agoIt's still a great read today. This HN post led me to hand my copy to one of summer hires. I've certainly passed that copy around.

- joshdance 11y agoNo way! I read that book in Junior High. Very well written, and very enjoyable. Didn't realize this was the same guy! Love it.
