Yourdon is well known for having beaten the Y2K drum vigorously, and it would be easy to mistake him for a hysteria monger. His clarity, confidence and good humour will quickly allay any doubts in the reader's mind--though some of his ideas have only the most tenuous link to the events of 9/11/2001, they are all well considered and valuable as we move further into an era we don't yet understand.
Examining emergent systems, resiliency, death-march projects and more with an eye toward securing our lives and liberty, Byte Wars gives us an optimistic look at our murky future. --Rob Lightner
