IBM is in serious trouble. Big Blue, as the company is known, tends to rely for its success on magical thinking but that magic ran out a long time ago. The company got in trouble back in the 1990s and had to hire for the first time an outside CEO, Lou Gerstner, to save the day. Gerstner pushed IBM into services with spectacular results but this hurt the company, too. As services have became commoditized IBM could only compete by offshoring the work and quality suffered.

Tight, compelling analysis of complex topic
Revisado: 11-09-24
Superb, it's not just about IBM but how graft is conducted by the people in charge of American (which is global) high tech companies. I finally understand how the stock buyback stuff is used to advantage executives and stock holders at the expense of the company, customer, and worker. Like listening to a really good mystery adventure except it's real and you get something you can use. Loved this.

Best listen in a looong time
Revisado: 02-24-21
Just a joy to listen to, Woody at his funniest still, I can’t believe he’s 80 and so fresh snd funny. The first half a hilarious bio of his growing up and starting out, then a detailed account of the accusations against him — I was convinced of his innocence by it — and finally a run through of each of his movies and casts and foibles. That last part stretched on a little too long, I got bored to be honest, but film buffs will appreciate the background I suppose, and he has been so prolific. I loved it, will listen again in a year when I’ve forgotten it all.

Over the course of his 60 years, Christopher Hitchens has been a citizen of both the United States and the United Kingdom. He has been both a socialist opposed to the war in Vietnam and a supporter of the U.S. war against Islamic extremism in Iraq. He has been both a foreign correspondent in some of the world's most dangerous places and a legendary bon vivant with an unquenchable thirst for alcohol and literature.

Classic Hitchens all around
Revisado: 06-26-18
He doesn’t disappoint, you know what to expect and he delivers. Entertaining and informative and graceful. And honest but for some skirting on whether his support for the Iraq war was ultimately a mistake. Enjoyed it a lot and thought it so packed full I did two successive listens.

Only about Star Trek
Revisado: 06-01-16
This was nothing but Star Trek stories, it's not about Nimoy's life otherwise. I enjoyed the ST, but I was really hoping to find out more about this interesting person. But no, it's not a deeper book that way. Too bad.
