I, too, picked up this book because of the author alone. I’ve read his stuff in Wired and (of course) his SF books. I’m still trying to figure which one I like the best. However, I’d say that his non-SF seems to be right on.
Please understand, he isn’t advocating one OS over another or GUI over command line but is describing how we got here in the first place and is giving YOU the ammo to decide what you want to use on YOUR machine.
It’s a good read and only about 150 pages. I’m a MCSE and a software development project manager but I’m going to download Linux, BeOS, and (now that it’s free) Solaris and understand the competition.
This is a good net culture book and a GREAT net business book. Read it, you’ll understand what I mean.
