mildly entertaining on the back end but I found the ramblings of the Harvard professor to be quite dull when he was describing visual aspects and there were no figures associated with said description. Especially coming from technology in the 60s, it makes it difficult to imagine what he is describing. he had some interesting insights on the future of computing and design in regards to AI and personal computing. The back half of the book was very visual and had some short descriptions on most of the designs. Decent read, but I likely would not recommend anything aside from the designs in the back half.
