Faster
Faster | Alex Schuler, Mj Howson
1 post | 1 read
Inspired by true events, 'Faster' is the story of a mechanical genius, the computer programmer he fell in love with, and the man who would stop at nothing to turn their unique talents into a phenomenon that would shake the world. Ted is a kick-ass hardware guy who can build anything as long as you stay out of his way. He likes loud music, loud Trans Ams and dingy bars filled with music so loud you forget how much life actually sucks. So when he's recruited to work with a group of nerdy college roboticists to win DARPA's autonomous vehicle challenge, he, naturally, has some problems playing nice with his teammates. And then he's humiliated soundly by Samantha (Sam), the brilliant programmer who takes an entirely different approach to the challenge, and to life. Brought together by a well-connected entrepreneur, the unlikely trio will take Silicon Valley and Detroit by storm until Ted's reckless nature derails his relationship with Sam, gets someone killed and nearly undermines all of what they've worked for. Faster examines the value of progress, the cost of obsession, and the extraordinary power of the human mind.

If I‘m being honest, I‘m not sure why I accepted the review request for Faster. It‘s not something I would normally pick up, but I had a feeling that I needed to read this. I‘m glad I trusted my instincts because I enjoyed every minute of this book.
