This book really took me back to the time of the first bubble. Although it's hard to feel particularly sympathetic for the narrator, the narrative is very engaging as a portrait of a classic dysfunctional software organization. Many of the patterns are timeless, even as open offices replace cubes and JSON replaces XML. This is something like the anti-Soul of a New Machine.

Funny yarn about the corporate world. I actually think that I know some of the people mentioned.
