Loved it - essential history of computing from Ada Lovelace to Google.

Only gets the second star because I felt compelled to finish it, but this book is very not good.

The history was more engaging than the modern crime aspect (which was actually the central storyline of the book). The most interesting idea is that Joseph Smith encouraged laymen in the church to receive their own personal revelations more so than in other faiths, and that contributes to the regular fracturing of Mormon sects. Not a comprehensive history, but worthwhile.

One of the most depressing books I've read, but the father-son relationship was well-crafted.

Really engaging, especially around the hunger strikes
