Have you read the book? It's terrific. It won the Pulitzer Prize, the American Book Award, and has an edition in the Modern Library, none of which is typical of computer books.

I read it a LONG time ago, back in 1987, my first year in the industry.

Also read "Programmers at Work" around the same time (my favorite chapter was the interview with Ray Ozzie). Those were the 2 books that inspired me - along with Turbo C and the early versions of Fox. Great times....
