Bright Boys and The Outliners

13 May 2012 by Charles Wilson

I finished reading two books this weekend:

Bright Boys: The Making of Information Technology (Tom Green) [hardcover]- the history of the people who created the SAGE computer / network for the USAF
The Outliers: The Story of Success (Malcolm Gladwell) [kindle] – how when you are born, who you know and how hard you work is as important as how smart you are
