Ahh, I just reread _Soul_! One thing I noticed this time through was the politics and (mostly absent?) leadership from the executives. E.g., the input from the CEO was basically "no mode bit".

I couldn't appreciate those things on the first pass as a young engineer.

To quote "Novell CEO Eric Schmidt" (heh) from the linked Wired article[0],

> [...] and it did a good job of getting into the psychology of leadership. The corporate maneuvering was both fascinating and abhorrent to me.

The joy of rereading a good book, it hasn't changed but I have.
