Will TDD work with a mature product? One that runs into the million lines of code range? Dunno, though I already follow many of the practices found in this book. Time to see what else is applicable.

While a lot of this book so far comes across as special pleading for the author’s thesis of ‘non-zero-sumness’, he has a nice knack for threading together a neat survey of various social structures (cultural anthropology) under the guise of showing our ever-upward climb in interdependence.

I’ll be reading this for months. It’s just personal hobby/education, and the book is huge.

This is the sort of book I read to continue questioning the central tenets of my profession. It shows inklings of insight, but I’ve only just begun…

It’s too soon to say whether I’ll finish this. It is interesting, and the sort of book which makes a quick read, but it could bog down quickly depending on the direction the author takes.

Quite an entertaining read. A cross between Joe Haldeman and the Brothers Strugatsky.

Bought it, read it, looking for the sequel.

Another of those books you don’t so much read as browse and apply from.

Set in the same universe as Revelation Space, but with an all new cast of characters. I started reading it on the Disneyland trip, but now that I’m back I’ll probably slow down the pace…

Finished during a trip to Chatanooga. Good, a little bit more predictable than Revelation Space.

This weighs in at over 500 pages, so think of this library book as a preview to decide if I want it.

So far, while the blurb compares the prose to John LeCarre, I think it reads more like Graham Greene.

Update: I did in fact finish this book, after nine weeks, and it is worth it, as every Powers book I’ve read is.
