Don't you mean "Defyiing Gravity?" Or is it "Defying Graviity?" (My copy
is at home).
The only book I've ever seen that had a typo on the spine of the dust jacket.
Really great photos... a great "you are there" ambiance, especially since
I was there when the pictures at the launch were taken, so it brings back
memories. But the text is pretty lightweight and often incorrect on
technical details. It doesn't mention the switch from Dylan ("Ralph") to
NewtonScript, instead implying that they went from Dylan to C.
You ought to be able to find a copy... they were remaindered and at one
point I bought five copies for a few dollars each and handed them out to
friends.
