   I remember reading it and wondering whether they’d have had more chance of making their fortunes building home computers out of their garages given the era! Great story though (I read the British edition - The Newtonian Casino)

   There is a wonderful book about this by Thomas Bass, which I adored as a teenager in the early ’90s. My British copy (which I still have) is entitled The Newtonian Casino, but I gather the original US edition was called The Eudaemonic Pie.

   I’ve often wondered why this book isn’t better known. I would recommend it.

   The Newtonian Casino is a book that tells Farmer's story. It is fascinating and I've read it twice: http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Newtonian-Casino-Thomas-Bass/dp/...
