NOBEL DREAMS



NOBEL DREAMS --- Power, Deceit, and the Ultimate Experiment
Gary Taubes
ISBN 4-02-255929-2 (Japanese translation)

I majored in elementary particle physics theory in my graduate school days, and thus I naturally took this book when I found it in the bookshelf of my father-in-law.

After reading several chapters of the book, what I thought was not about Robert Oppenheimer, the father of the atomic bomb, as is mentioned in the text, but about Dave Cutler, the father of WindowsNT and VMS.
That could be because I have lived in the IT industry too long.
