This book tells the unlikely story of a shy farm boy who hated school but ended up working more than 25 years for one of the world’s most successful companies of the 20th century. It is a candid collection of recollections, more than 25 years later, of what life was like working in the world’s premier THINK tank. It highlights both the deep demands and the rich rewards of working at IBM, a company whose main motto was ‘THINK.’
