This was a fun book about Mitch Kapor's successor to Agenda, "Chandler". Kapor founded Lotus. Chandler's an interesting kind of software that blends many types of personal information together. Scott Rosenberg does a great job covering the history of software (mentioning Engelbart's NLS and demo), along with the trials of organized software development.
I found this bug through Joe Armstrong's post about TiddlyWiki and Chandler.
If you know me IRL, ask to borrow this book! I'd happily lend it to you.
