Review: La impresión y pastas son excelentes - Llegó muy rápido, 3 días antes . Tengo, de hace años la versión en español la encontré en un tienda de libros usados (pero estaba nuevo). Habían muchos, como en calidad de desecho. Y por mucho tiempo estuve buscando la versión original. La compré a muy buen precio. La calidad de impresion y pasta es excelentes.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Boa referência histórica
*by F***. on 2 May 2026*

Bom livro. Mostra o desenlvimento de um computador na decada de 80, apesar de ser um "romance" narrando de forma heróica uma série de personagens históricos muito anônimos. É uma referencia interessante para entender a construção de um projetos, principalmente um tão problemático e diversas decisões técnicas e de gestão durante esse período. Não é um livro técnico o que torna muitas coisas simplificadas para o público em geral poder entender.
