I am at a loss for words regarding this matter. It essentially comprises a series of brief interviews conducted with 97 individuals. In my opinion, it could be presented as a blog post rather than a book.

This book comprises some of the most famous hackers and software engineers in the world with pearls of wisdom they’ve gained through their careers. I would like it in print so I could get copies for students.
