The Wired review of Paul Graham's new book:
Hackers and Painters is not a masterpiece, but it's far from bland match-your-couch art, either. It's a very personal, often illuminating, rather jumbled and only occasionally tedious look at one man's ideas about how to create good things.
They didn't like the part of the book that explains why geeks aren't popular in high school either.
