There is a passion for work and business that comes through in each essay… Yes, some of the writing here is self-absorbed—the most used letter in the More Space alphabet is “I.” But the risk-taking with form and content ultimately pays off in a very readable, fresh, and insightful collection.

Hmm, mea maxima culpa on the I thing.
