This book has long been touted as the definitive role reversal novel, exposing "reverse" sex discrimination as a problem in the modern workplace. I had to giggle most of the way through this book. Written in 1994, the tech firm outlined in Disclosure was manufacturing the groundbreaking technology of **insert appropriate ta-da sound effect here** CD ROM drives! "In the future, all data will be stored on discs" Oh Michael - if you only knew what the future would hold.
So outmoded technology aside, I had the standard Michael Crichton reaction to this book. The premise was cool, the conspiracy plot was well fleshed out but man-oh-man, I could have done without the intricate specifications of all of the technology that they were researching and manufacturing, especially because it had NOTHING to do with the plot at all.
