This was a much-needed book for me, a workaholic who never taxes vacations and crams as much as possible into each day. Looking back, I know that I have indeed been more creative and did great on "work" projects when I had time to step back. I'll be doing so more again in the future.

Engaging; the journalist has a view, but overall totally worth reading.

Really solid book. Highly recommend to any entrepreneur.

Really fun, straightforward, intensely practical book. I read it having a fairly good knowledge of FreeBSD, but next to no knowledge of jails, and am now comfortable using them, and even learned a new jail manager (Bastille) concurrently with the book without issue. As usual, it references all the useful manpages and many of the tunables you'll need, so the reader can easily fill in any gaps from the source.

I can tell this book will be a solid reference in the future as well.

Snowden isn't a writer and some parts are a bit repetitive, but this really should be required reading for everyone.

Interesting political sci-fi. The fact that everything rests on this predetermined "psychohistory" is a very interesting constraint to add, which makes for a unique story as the participants are all aware of it, but ti requires a bit of suspension of disbelief. Interesting and entertaining nonetheless, despite the (IMO) obvious flaws of the premise.

Interesting book. First half left me laughing and crying constantly. I’m pretty cynical already but the amount of BS jobs was even worse than I thought. Then it slowly turned into a weird mix of Marxism and academic research, culminating in a call to consider UBI. While I don’t agree with the author’s conclusions, it was a thought provoking book.

This book is a must-read for anyone marketing to developers. It's pretty short and, aside from the last chapter, won't waste your time. Overall a fantastic distillation of the major types of content and the dos and don'ts of each. Read once; reference later.
