Iggy, why am I not surprised you would like this book?
Really, it's a poorly researched book. If you want to read good fiction,
get a copy of Huckleberry Finn. If you want a good book on computer
history with factual information, there are plenty of others to choose
from.
I recommend:
Fire in the Valley (Freiberger/Swaine)
Hackers (Levy)
The Naked Computer (Rochester/Gantz)
Sellam Ismail Vintage Computer Festival
