From the rear cover

This arresting and at time terrifying book tells us just how prevalent these defects are and how they are multiplying as computers become more sophisticated and more deeply embedded in our daily lives. It is also a riveting portrait of the men and women who find and 'exterminate' those bugs, whether they occur in pocket calculators or nuclear reactors.

Media reviews

"The book is both amusing and a quite serious argument for never assuming computers are flawless."

-- San Diego Union-Tribune"Peterson's book is an entertaining introduction to the problems of creating reliable computer systems."
