				Is this a recommendation? Should I hate it? I'm having a neurotic breakdown here 😣

				I really enjoyed it, but I felt cheated that it wasn't a real story (or based on a real story at least.) It does make a lot of good points, but there's times where its fiction shines through a bit too much.

				 Root772325y$240? Root772325y$240?
 What is it, a text book required for a pointless (but required) $350 class? I feel like I’m in college again.

 I would think anyone that works/worked for an internal (large~ish) IT shop ran into the exact situations and near word-for-word conversations found in the book. I know I had.

				@PaperTrail Exactly, which is why it could have been so much better if it was a retelling of an actual story.
 
 The only bit I found a bit implausible was Eric. You wouldn't have this mystery figure just swanning around giving everyone half arsed riddles to solve. No-one puts up with that crap, no matter how much they know.
