Pretty cool ride through the past 40 years of computing, The book is about "how a group of hackers, geniuses, and geeks created the digital revolution.
Heres's a few books I really liked. They speak about ideas becoming a reality through ingenuity, hard work, effective collaboration and great management. A new member to a team, a manager or an entrepreneur can benefit from these reads... I hope you enjoy them too!

The quintessential description of product marketing strategies for the information age. This is an important read, and defines the stages of a new technology adoption. This is a marketing book that every developer should read, even if they have a marketing groupie to handle launch and promotion.
Just because you build something doesn't mean it will sell. This is a great read for those who think they have a killer app in an existing market.
This was mandatory reading when I worked at Motorola. If you work in a successful company, you need to read this book. It talks about how good companies become great, lasting brands.
This is a very easy one night read but it describes leadership strategies for managers that want to build amazing teams of top performers. The title may sound a little "in your face" but it's a good leadership book.
An interesting leadership book about getting results through accountability.
A new additon to my library, this book focuses on Startups and "How to build the Future".
A very different type of reading but interesting. The author speaks about stress brought on by the stories our minds create. The book concentrates on how to live a full life, have better relationships and be successful by telling the truth.
If you have or will ever run a business, or decide to do a startup this is a great book to read to understand just how hard it can be. I know, I've started three companies now and lived through the ups and downs.
I got this book when I heard Gene Kranz speak at a convention. This is a great book about one of the most celebrated engineering projects ever - landing a man on the moon. Specifically it is about the Apollo 13 mission and the amazing collaboration that brought those astronauts back to earth safely.
