    I’m not a book person, but I think Andromeda Strain is an interesting book. I like how it displays the (from today’s point of view) horribly outdated technology as advanced high-tech.

    One of the cases of a mildly science fiction book, that got overtaken by reality.

      I think the best part of the book was the hubris of the government. They threw technology at a problem that was untested and unplanned.

      if we spend enough money, surely we can solve the problem

      Such a late 80s and 90s sentiment
