I should be getting the English version with the futuristic cube farm this week. Then I'll have a better idea. I enjoy the Japanese (atonement with IT dog) version better than the Russian (Almighty IT Fist) version.

I love the transliteration, "bitter spores". ;)
This book caused bitter spores in the West both among practical workers in area of technologies of informations and among consultants. Reason of dispute was become by the special opinion of author of book, considering, that the enormous investments of enterprises in an informative infrastructure already do not give a surplus return, and in a number of cases even are not necessary.
