Good bridge book for technology and business

As a fictionalized concepts book, this has many types of readers. For me, someone who is well versed with technology but needs to better understand the industry, it gives me a clearer picture of why certain technological choices may be made in different contexts. For a non-technical leader leading a technical business (and the book makes a case that all businesses are technology businesses), this book may be able to relate their domain specific challenges with technological solutions.

In any case, I can't really find a complaint with the book. The fictionalized setting is nothing to write about because that's not the point of this book. The technology references are useful and very generic. That's probably my complaint though: that the solutions described are so generic that it might give an impression that everything needs to be built within organizations whereas almost everything can be picked off-the-shelf.

It's a quick read and I would recommend you to read this if you're leading organizations.
