Recasting The Machine Age
The writing is not tremendous - actually it's terrible in spots, but I really enjoyed the story of how a summer camp influenced the CEO of Walt Disney. I find it equal parts touching and humorous that he thinks Waboos is the reason a bunch of the kids at this camp succeeded in their professional lives decades later (became worldwide business leaders, etc.). OK, I'm being pessimistic, but it probably had a little to do with the $5K-10K price tag on the camp and the families that could afford to send someone there each summer! That aside, I learned a lot from the book's relationship/humanistic stories.
