About this ebook
A classic story about beating roulette with the world’s first wearable computers. “A veritable piñata of a book,” said The New York Times, which ranges from the invention of personal computers through the history of gambling to breaking the bank in Las Vegas. “Bass has done the best job so far of capturing the marriage of technical imagination and communal coziness that gave rise to Silicon Valley,” said the Los Angeles Times. “An extraordinary story,” said Nature. “Behind the fun and games there lies an economic parable for the decade just passed.” A madcap adventure and insanely comedic, this is “an astonishing and fascinating tale of scientific heroism,” said Richard Dawkins.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Super book about Risk
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A group of students and researcher types are hanging out together and generally having a good time. They come up with a project, trying to beat casinos at roulette. After a long time spent on experiments and various methods, they manage to come up with one. It, of course involves various social techniques as well as the scientific ones to prevent them being booted out, as per usual. It is something that won't work today, though.
