During the holidays I have been reading Michael Crighton's book "Airframe".
This is a nice thriller at the one hand, but I also liked it from
professional perspective: the design of very complex, software intensive,
systems. Unfortunately I don't know how much of the story is the authors
fantasy and how close other parts might be to reality.

regards Gerrit
