3.0


I like the premise of the book and it started strong. Tinkerers are cool! Hey, I'm a tinkerer, too! It brought back memories of my mom pushing me to be more mechanically inclined and tinker with electronics (instead of watching television)... I still consider myself a tinkerer - a tinkerer of spreadsheets.

I did enjoy some of the histories of some of the tinkerers. Maybe I just had different expectations but I don't have a grasp of really what the book is trying to tell me.

It's an OK book. Just one I'm likely to forget in a couple days.
