That book describes the characters behind the real internet. It might read a bit dry, but it will enlighten you to a vision of what 'old school' hackers were back in the day. There is enough technical stuff to keep the network geek interested in the book. I liked JCR Licklider's vision of a 'man and machine symbiosis' - that it would create another level of human interaction - and in this forum - you can see his dream has come true.

None of you guys read Paulo Coelho ?? I love his books. Veronica Wants to die, 11 seconds, The Alchemist. Wonderful stuff. Then there is John Grisham a freaking genius.

I just recently went through To kill a Mockingbird by Lee Harper. Great book. In case you guys havn't read it I do suggest it. And then there is my all time fav The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand. The greatest book ever written.

Better stop or this post will never end. :mrgreen:
