A book about books: can it get any better? Yes, it can. If youre into technology, using Google as your go-to seeker of information, solving puzzles, cracking codes, and city life, this ones for you. This book has truly made me appreciate the wealth of information I can gather from a few key strokes, and it has sparked in me a new found interest for the art of the old ways of printing books. Paper and technology can co-exist and this book does a fine job of combining the two.

Favorite quote: There is no immortality that is not built on friendship and work done with care. All the secrets in the world worth knowing are hiding in plain sight.
