Too poetic for my taste but in the end I liked it.

This is one of the best Science Fiction I've ever read. You have to read Daemon first, which is also great, but this one is magnificent.

This is one of the best Science Fiction I've ever read. You have to read Daemon first, which is also great, but this one is magnificent. The technology is so amazing and yet so plausible it gives you the chills; it's so well described that for a few days I was feeling a kind of abstinence syndrome at not having it.

There are thousands of books that will take you from illiterate to novice in any programming language. But finding those that will take you from novice or intermediate to expert is hard. I remember reading Effective Java some years ago and wishing I had something like that for Python. I've never found one.
This is a great book full of very interesting knowledge, full of those things that separate a Ruby programmer and an export Ruby programmer. Before finishing the book I've already put to use some of the lessons and it saved me a lot of time. The book payed for itself before I've finished reading and I really recommend it to anyone who is serious about coding in Ruby.
