Every single person I have lent it to has loved it.

Gonna have to check out those two as well now. Thanks Lev – more reading material for me! :oD

Please readjust your taste meter.

And i’ll probably visit techland.com more often now.

Just finished “Makers” on your suggestion, and I’ve got to say, it’s by far the best book I’ve read all year. I couldn’t keep myself from grinning when Doctorow sent Perry or Lester down some frantic stroke of genius, or clench my first when one of his “Evil Industry Henchmen” went for the throat of “The Ride”.

(BSG forever!)

I can’t wait to read them, but especially The Makers. “Speaking as a dude who’s into tech and yet cannot code and has average mortal math skills, and who as a result has never made anything in his life except letters on a screen, I have a deeply romantic love of engineers and hackers.” Change “dude” to “chick” in that first sentence, and you’re describing me! I was just talking to my dad yesterday about how my dream is to be a hacker!
