This isn't so much a book as a a write-up of a conference talk. Worse, it is essential content-free; just bunch of buzz-words.
This isn't so much a book as a management-style slide presentation puffed up with interstitial text. From a technical standpoint it is content-free.
Unbelievably grandiose. And the sex scenes were creepy.
