Curious why you labelled The Soul of a New Machine as fiction? It's a non-fiction book by Tracy Kidder and I highly recommend it. A really fantastic piece of work I think anyone in our industry should read, great insights into teams, burnout, our culture, managing, software development etc. There are online versions of it if you Google.

I don’t know why I did that, you’re definitely right and it’s about data general so I know it’s non-fiction.

I guess the narrative style made it feel like a novel to me and I just impulsively classified it incorrectly.
