A bit dated from some parts but mostly still accurate.

Excellent overview of an amazing country. A bit out of date given Nokia's recent travails, but the point about a small nation's emphasis on education and technology is still valid. Contains some interesting insights into the Finnish character. Worth seeking out if you have any interest at all in Finland.
