From the discussion
A few top-level comments from Hacker News, shortened. Read the full thread on Hacker News.
I don't typically read non-fiction, but his autobiography ("Making It So", https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Making_It_So) was very, very good. One of the things I particularly liked is that he admits to the mistakes he made, and the times when he wasn't the human being he strived to be.
