Very sweet, slightly dated but that really doesn't matter. It's startlingly sweet. Not at all what I expected. And so much more interesting and thoughtful than The Circle.
For some reason, my favorite part of this book was the description of the highway system.
I listened to the book on tape ready by Matthew Perry. It was very good. It is always fabulous to have a man read to you while on a road trip.
I first read this book when it came out in 1993(94?). In fact, I read the excerpt that was in WiReD magazine. It's such a perfect encapsulation of geeks circa right before the web boom of the mid to late-90s. I re-read this book about once a year, but each time the world in this books seems further and further away. Still, the characters and story are compelling. One of my favorite books.
My dog ate this book. I may finish it if I stumble upon another copy, but won't go out of my way to do so.
I enjoyed this much more that I thought I would. Surprisingly relevant to me, although I was a child and not a coder during the 90's. Lots of self-reinvention. More poignant than I expected. The ending felt a little tacked on (but 90% of endings feel this way to me), but otherwise I liked this a lot.
I went in excited about this book, but I feel like it’s a 2.5 star book for me.
A little too geeky for me to understand all the references involved. Well written and thought out book. Didn't really engage with all the characters unfortunately.
