Got some quality time over the Christmas holidays to catchup on some books. Here’s a couple of books I enjoyed immensely.
In Search of Stupidity: Over 20 years of high-tech marketing disasters is a book filled with fascinating stories of how tech companies/people behaved and the decisions they took lead to closing down the company that no one is heard about today. If you’re old enough or interested in history of the industry some or most of the stuff in the book might not be new but it’s worth reading anyway because how Rick Chapman lay out those stories. Sarcastic. Hilarious. True. A quote on the book’s website says it all,
“Remember: The race goes not to the strong, nor swift, nor more intelligent but to the less stupid”
Another book that made me forgot about my lunch was iWoz. Provides a truly wonderful insight into the mind of Steve Wozniak. How he made the first Apple computer and gives advice at the end to become an inventor.
