Two years ago, I started writing a novel about IT and Software Development. Why? Well, I’d loved reading “The Phoenix Project” and “The Unicorn Project”, and I wanted something a little more realistic, a bit grittier. I wasn’t writing a business book; I was writing a story set in the IT and Software Development world. A story where agile transformations don’t work, a story where we cut corners to get things done. A story with a twist. A story I hope you enjoy! It’s slightly darker than those amazing books, but it’s a book with an important message. It follows the journey of two women, an executive and an engineer, discovering how connection is more important than software delivery and AI. I certainly hope it’s “of the moment” 😉
“Human Software: A Life in I.T.” is now available on Amazon in paperback and Kindle and via e-book on Leanpub, Apple books, Kobo, Thalia, Smashwords, Angus and Robertson and Vivlio, Barnes and Noble and many others. It will be released in paperback in other outlets over the coming weeks.
Many thanks to all the kind reviewers, beta readers and those that I’ve pestered over the last couple of years. I couldn’t have done it without your kind words, support and encouragement.
If you’re on Michael Lopp’s Rands Leadership Slack, I’m doing an AMA over the next few days about self-publishing and writing an IT-inspired novel. If you’re attending Fast Flow Conf in London on the 14th and 15th October, do be sure to say hello.
