Negative Positive
Title: Empty Promises, Over-hyped
Review: This "book", more like an extended magazine article, is hardly "Soul of a New Machine" - that's just a laughable comparison. There are no daily digests of personalities arguing architectural features or fighting to meet an overly aggressive verification schedule. This book is merely a small compendium of paragraph length stores with longer chapters with "whitepaper" like advice. There's nothing particularly "Intel" or "Pentium" about the stories and you certainly don't get a feel for the people or the teams working with the project. There are better choices out there.
