Add missing EndorsementBurly Vinson (Founder/Snappies) As I said, I’m a SciFi nerd, so right now I’m reading Neuromancer by William Gibson. As for what I expect to get from it? Probably not a lot from an entrepreneur point of view, but that’s fine by me.
Damien Mulley (Owner/Mulley Communications) The coiner of "cyber space", the guy that created a virtual world full of hackers called "the Matrix" in 1984. A seminal book for me. I read it as a teen and it turned computers into a thing rockstars used. Possibly encouraged me to do things with computers you are not meant to do. A catalyst, a rabbit hole.
