Except you reach the point where it talks about Apple and you start doubting every other single fact in it:

"Apple Computers is a famous example: it was founded by (mostly RepubliĀ­can) computer engineers who broke from IBM in Silicon Valley in the 1980s, forming little democratic circles of twenty to forty people with their laptops in each other's garages."

(Copy/pasted from web, but matches my memory of reading the book, so pretty sure it's accurate.)

Yeah this threw me for a loop, but didn't try to get it corrected - did anyone follow up on this glaring error when the book was initially for sale/proof-read more widely?
Yeah I remember this, I furrowed my eyebrows for sure. Like how can you not know the founding of Apple in this day and age, its deeply embedded in the Reality Canon at this point
