"The book gives meaningful and clear steps to take in order to ensure a robust understanding of any new emerging technology following a few simple stages... before giving the reader an overview of how to engage and win over an audience to get them to trust your reasoning and advice... Bains has managed to make incredibly accessible the kind of practices which can prove painfully elusive even to skilled professionals." -- Corlett Novis, Editor, Pi Media
