I stayed up all night reading this book and it was well worth the exhaustion. The supporting characters are so fantastic too, especially the murderbots, and I enjoy learning about some of the story that's been left untold.. For instance, there's a chapter on all generations of the 911 Turbo just before the chapter on the 911's second generation and the GT2 has a dedicated chapter that's two chapters before the GT3's (undoubtedly because of the 993 GT2 predating the Type 996 911). It has shown how it can be used and how it can help the 21st century. It was so easy to do that I am now planning on putting together a nice big book of my pictures to keep in my office.
