After a long day on the tractor this was a good read to relax to. Started out as a set of short stories with a recuring bit player then in the end the bit palyer takes stage front and closes the show with a triumphant bang. Personally loved the twist at the end and the rethinking of Edwardin sexuality in the middle. I had to stop the tractor to tell several people(and now you)that HG Wells little book on time travel has done more than we can imagine to our spacetime continum. All in all, it was a good read.
This is great overview and insight into how the mind works and what exactly a hack is. I rather enjoyed the activities and test that are found through out the book. A couple of the Applets need up dating but I found them operational thru original links or offsite updates. My Wife has stolen my copy to use in her Biology class as a resource and to get the kids off and running on projects.
