It was an impulse buy from the Natural History Museum (The one in London. There are probably others, but they are not THE Natural History Museum ;P). Not impressed by the fact that the author is related to Alan Turing, I don't really believe in all that 'Good Breeding' stuff. I'm not THAT old fashioned. Yet. I did learn a few 'fun facts', but the disjointed 'Gee Wiz' and 'Bet you didn't know' layout of the book does irritate me a little.
p-130; 'As to tablet computers, the flat modular computers that fill a niche somewhere between laptops and smartphones, neither AMD nor Intel has much impact. Here the entire system is on a chip and those chips are typically made by Arm Holdings, based in Cambridge, UK.' - OK I like this book a bit more now :)
