Title: Java--the Inside Scoop from the Personnel Dept.
Review: A poorly written, self-serving saga starring a human resources employee with visions of Arabia (and of getting on the glory train of Java) and a bit player at the outer edge of the technology, whose exaggerated roles are not supported by the more carefully written histories or accounts of the project. It is primarily useful in showing the corrosive effect of the Silicon Valley "success" machine on those who live there but can only watch from the edge.
Is the review positive or negative?
