Industrial Light And Magic: Creating The Impossible
A nice, newb friendly joyride through the development of the first Star Wars movie to the latest Star Trek films. Sorry kids, no stereo instructions. Makes more of a puff piece for people in Hollywood to hire ILM to do their next film instead of Peter Jackson. **** (4 Stars)

You ever read "The Pixar Touch"?
Behind every great company there is a key personality. I went through a jag of reading everything I could about Steve Jobs.
Steve Jobs gets bounced from Apple and starts NEXT. That turns into a failure and Jobs almost loses everything he has - but NEXT has the horsepower for graphics and this leads him to Pixar. Jobs stumbles this guy Lasseter and recognizes his genius. Jobs ends up making far more than he ever did at Apple to that point.
Of course Jobs returns to Apple after Pixar and the rest is history.
Tremendous story as I recall although I read it quite some time ago. Lasseter is god.
I don't know if you are more interested in the technology or the people. If it's the latter, this book is for you.
