" A definite must read if you are in the world of digital innovation. Total Recall is a boat load of inspiration for business and a great collection of insights into human memory. "
— Chad, 11/28/2013" very interesting, and now I have a ton of further resources to check out. "
— Jacinta, 8/19/2013" Quit this one early. Text is dedicated to the notion of capturing details of one's life. Some folk's included a camera attached to their head's nearly all the time. I erroneously thought it would be a how-to guide on organizing ones research and activities for recall. "
— Jim, 8/5/2013" This book like most nonfiction books was not a page turner for me. I found most of what was written to either not be applicable to my life or already in place as I have tried to digitize my life. This book gets three stars because it is something I'd recommend for many people. "
