An interesting viewpoint (even though it contains some errors of both fact and logic)

But overall, it is probably the best book on the subject as of now (2008), even though it mostly addresses the US software industry. And as the authors acknowledge that a number of things are based on his own preconceptions, I believe that some small errors and logic fallacies can be forgiven, as the author doesn't try to teach us that his "history" is the correct one (even though I agree with most of it).

An enjoyable book for the IT and history buffs out there, but absolutely not something for the commoner.
