What's amazing about this book is just how relevant it is today, 35 years
after it was written. Some of the technical details have changed (how many
of us still keep our project notes on microfiche?), but cross out
"microfiche" and write in "wiki" and what he's saying is just as valid
today. It's not about computer science. It's not really even about
software engineering. It's more about general project management than
anything else.
In the same vein, Death March, by Ed Yourdon.
