This "relive the life" approach demands a book very different from, for example The New, New Thing. Small details matter, whereas no one is too concerned what technology wizard Jim Clark had for lunch every day (Lombardi had a daily hamburger) or where Mankind happened to grow up.

Home photo printers are easy to use, and video cameras' high-speed FireWire ports move huge video files to your computer fast. The big picture is only getting better...
...start of a show, all right. Lu Cont and Reynolds had chemistry and were having a laugh camping it up, shrugging their shoulders to the beat. In the background was a blown up version of his album cover, with lighting set to highlight lu Cont's flaming crimson hair. Jim Carmichael, the drummer, dressed in somber black, was the more sedate counterpoint to all that energy. Somebody had to hold down the fort, apparently...
