Very interesting and fast reading, but the aim of the book was a little off for me. It spent ages finding analogies for computer related things so that "normal" people would understand them, and didn't really discuss much at all the technical decisions made by Cutler et al during the process, which would have been much more interesting to me than learning that mice are "pointing devices" and other "fascinating" information.
