Harika bir kitap, mühendis kimdir be yapar sorularını itdelerken, bilim ve teknoloji farkını, icatların hangisinden beslendiğini güzel örneklerle anlatıyor. Şu kitabı okuyup sindiren insanın vizyonu genişler. Her muhendis, bilim adamı ve iktisatçının okuması şart.

This book was too dry to be appealing to a mass audience, yet to simple to be appealing to a technical audience.

Okuması zor bir kitap. Defalarca denememe rağmen sonunda bitirebildim. Mühendis olmayan birinin tahammül etmesi bence imkansızken, mühendis birini bile sıkabilmekte.
