Customer Reviews

very pleasantly surprised

I typically stick to non-fiction philosophy, history, and politics. So when a friend reccommended this book to me, I was somewhat skeptical. But I was very pleasantly surprised after reading it. Format C: turned out to be a real thriller. As someone who is no expert in computers, I was still able easily to follow the specifics of the plot. Kudos to Mr Black for skillfully integrating factual history and fictional future!

This Book Is Great!!!

This book is to recommended to the age of computer literate users who can fully understand this book. To me i give it the highest rating of all, i enjoyed it throughly and hope to read another Edwin Black book about the Millenium or y2k problem.

Not yet finished with it but...

What a great book! It's a real page turner and the descriptions of Washington landmarks make it hard for me to believe this is a work of fiction.This is the first book I've ever recommended to friends that I haven't yet finished. It's a good quick summer read. You'll surely enjoy it if you like suspense, mystery, and computer wars.Richard Hayman Rockville, Maryland

Exciting and thought-provoking

Format C: takes you places without asking if you want to go, but once there it feels oddly familiar. It's your own past, your frightening present and your possible future. The overwhelming penetration of computers into our life and thought... technological terrorism... political terrorism... the actual doings of the Bible brought startlingly into present day life... the horrors we could all face if we don't consciously join together to stand up for what is good and right. With a compassionate, stirring face Format C: presents all this and nothing less.

Keep telling yourself it's not real.

Format C: is a captivating ride through corporate America and modern Israel that takes you to a very real hell and beyond. From the Boardroom to the Senate a true look a monopolistic power at it's worst.Loved it to the last page.
