Editorial Reviews
Review
I cannot recommend the book highly enough. Karnow has taken two sometimes bewildering, often arcane subjects to produce a thoughtful, incisive - and, in one essay, devastatingly wicked - commentary on law, IT and modern culture. -- Brad Glosserman, The Japan Times, 11/12/97
