Reviews

The level of detail on the real world technologies is impressive - I think this book will strongly appeal to an audience that loves this kind of working through possibilities systematically ... . If you really like getting into the detail of this kind of tech, this is going to be an excellent read for you. (Popular Science, popsciencebooks.blogspot.de, November, 2016)
