Despite the price tag, I believe the book is of a historical rather than of a
technical nature. Similar to the book, "One Jump Ahead" by Jonathan Schaeffer.
If this is indeed the case, then it is not a good source of algorithms and such
like. This is my reason for *not* buying it. Too high a price for fluff. Hyatt
has read it, so if you have any questions about it, you should try asking him.
