Hmm. Interesting, though not totally groundbreaking for me given my other readings. A good read for someone curious about the corporatocracy, if you can get past Perkins' self-involvement.
Interesting commentary, but the repetitive phrasing and style start to get in the way of the narrative. Also, he does such a great job summarizing the concept in the first few chapters, and then it's so interesting hearing how he ended up in this job, that once he starts telling the nitty gritty story of his time in Java, it's a bit boring, because we've already covered it so well at a slightly higher level.
