This book was very interesting, and had a lot of great general advice for starting up small companies.  The end of the book was a really strange alternate reality, multiuniverse, what-if scenario of if space was more salient.  The story was kinda long for the points it was trying to make, but I agree with a lot of the message.  It was saying that we were sacrificing functionality for entertainment with consideration of the space race.  Nasa was spending tons of money putting people in orbit, when it could be spending fractions of that money to build massive satellite networks.  The book also talked about the KISS maxim that I try to prescribe to, Keep it Simple and Salient.  Most of the time it is read as Keep it Simple Stupid, but I like the Salient version better.
