bookshelves: 2020, sci, software-architecture

A hollistic approach on how we perceive reality and our imperfect ways (i shall not say futile) in trying to embed it in our information systems.

The book is more like a memorandum of pitfalls that humans encounter when trying to design data systems.The book does not advocate of a specific approach (e.g tabular vs graph vs network representation) but it does provide solid facts to help us get to the right mindset when designing our data systems.
