Review:
The particular examples in this book are not going to age well. Already, some are out of date--that is the side effect of writing about Information Technology in the Digital Age. The general concepts, however, are quite solid. The path forward laid out in the Afterword remains a good path forward even 4 years after the book was written. Well worth the read.
