An excellent book that describes the beginnings of the computer revolution written by someone who "knew them when". Should be required reading for college students majoring in technical fields. Smart and snappy - a fun and entertaining book.
After a month of slogging through Dostoyevky's magnum opus, the Brothers Karamazov, it was refreshing to turn my attention from tragedy to comedy, from morals to manners. As Coward writes in Private Lives..."Let's be superficial and pity the poor philosophers." Amen. My son Henry introduced me to Coward by recruiting me to play two female characters in Blithe Spirit while he was practicing his lines as Charles, and it was the most fun I ever had helping out with homework. If I'd had the big bucks, I'd have jetted us off to New York to watch Rupert Everett play Charles on Broadway. Of the other two plays, Hay Fever is maybe a little too messy, but Private Lives is, for all its cynicsm, a compelling story of enduring love.
