I didn't expect much when I picked up this book, I read it on the strength of his other work. I have to say I loved it. It delves into the realm of corporate intrests denying the marketplace of new a innovative ideas (remember the 100 mpg carburetor). By the end I was laughing out loud. Bova has a knack for near future prophesy and based on the digital revolution real cyberbooks are already here in one form or another. Cyberbooks is fun to read after a slow start.
