Some fascinating stories from the earliest days of computer graphics, the creation of Pixar, its ultimate success and well beyond. I wonder if the many analogies to describe the mental models people have at Pixar to do their job is useful for anyone except those people.

I was enjoying this book right up until the inter-dimensional rescue in Lunar City. After the rescue it transformed from an interesting sci-fi/escape/murder mystery/conspiracy novel into a self indulgent and unfulfilling examination of time travel and its potential consequences. Meh!
