Reviews of Books I've Read

2001 - A Space Odyssey - Arthur C Clarke

One of the first sci-fi books I really liked, this remains a masterpiece, that should be read by everyone, especially if you like the film, or intend on seeing it, as many of the unfilmed elements of the story are in the book, though there are minor differences as the book and film were written near simultaneously.

Imagine - Tommy Sheridan, Alan McCoombes

In this age of the internet there are many who believe that there is little point questioning why we live in a Global Capitalist society, this book proves that belief wrong. This well written and thought provoking book shows that there are many good reasons to challenge the way things are across the world, and move the emphasis back to society. It does manage to pull in all manner of computing thought and should be read by anyone and everyone.
