Not This Week in Books:
In one of those curious coincidences our Universe is famous for, I just finished reading Michael Crichton's Airframe, a novel about a plane manufacturer trying to pinpoint the cause of a mysterious crash. It's a typical Crichton techno-thriller page turner that goes into great detail about the process of tracking down the cause of a plane crash. I was fascinated by how similar this is to debugging a computer program.

Even though it features a Strong Female Lead, it will never be a movie due to the in-depth look at airplane manufacturing necessary to the plot. Those who like this sort of thing will definitely like this one.

Probably before his time but did it mention Formal Logic or Static code Analysis?
