The Soul of a New Machine

This book was nice. The title does sound geeky, but believe me, it's far from that. Its an account of Data General building their first 32-bit mini-computer during their hay days. A really engrossing book that briefly touches the politics involved in higher ups, emphasizes the grueling hours put in by the hardware engineers, talks about the thrills and trauma of being a manager with unrealistic deadlines, the satisfaction and enthusiasm of getting the job done, and a sense of void in the engineers after the exhilarating journey ended.
The book won a Pulitzer Prize. One thing/term I learned from the book. "Mushroom theory of management".
