As its author it's probably expected that I'd give my book a glowing review, though I've met a number of authors who aren't all that confident of their writing. I am confident in saying that no one has read The Dent in the Universe more times than I have, so, from that perspective, I love this book. It is a true page-turner (the last four chapters especially so). But I also love how it skewers our current mindless tech culture. There is no human endeavor so full of smart people that has done so much damage to human institutions. This is my love letter to those who slumber through AGILE stand-ups, who work to make their world-changing products, and who never think through the ways in which the world is better off unchanged—or the power their ideas might put in the hands of monsters.

I'd like to thank the good reviewers here at GoodReads. Your honest reviews, good or bad, are so valuable to authors. While I'd love if every review of The Dent in the Universe was a 5 star love-fest, the reviewers who gave it lower ratings aren't wrong. I try to write my books for a very particular reader. My writing isn't for everyone. If everyone adored my writing I probably haven't done my job properly. So, to all who felt this book wasn't for you, thanks for your review. Not every book is, or should be, for everyone. To all those who found something worthwhile, thanks to you too. Spread the word.

Be Good,
Doc
