Résumé
A follow-on book to the popular and successful "Software
Runaways." Focuses on massive computer-related
disasters rather than just those related to software
failures. Divided into six short sections, each featuring a
collection of articles relating to a particular
computer-industry disaster (the demise of Wang, Inc.,
Citicorp' $600 million client/server "mistake," etc.). This
concise and readable book offers revealing insights on how
good technologies and ideas go bad, and what smart IT
managers and technical staff can do to avoid repeating past
disasters.
