Also there is quit a bit of room towards the end where Linus shares his thoughts on Intellectual Property, copyright and becoming rich (not Bill Gates rich, but still rich). I was familiar with most of the history, but this book does a great job of filling in the details to get a complete picture from a first degree account. And that is probably what I liked most about it. Details that would probably be lost when you write a book about this subject 20 years from now. Because in 2001 things were relatively ‘fresh’ the book has some nice intricate details. The story is told in either conversation form between David and Linus or just plain old retelling facts. From young Linus to Linux, to underground celebrity status, to bonafide celebrity, to riches and world domination. The book is structured around alternating chapters written by Linus himself and the writer David Diamond.
