“James’s book is interesting and filled with information. Year 2000 is a useful reminder that computers control all major human activities: banking, business, defense, entertainment, travel, and even medicine. Anyone who cares about the history and future of computers could profit by reading it.”

“Nancy James new book, Year 2000: The Inside Story of Y2K Panic, tells the inside story of all that went into the problem and its eventual solution. It is a must read for all who want to understand the cautions of the information technology world we are fast entering.”
- Jon Huntress
“A rich and fascinating account of the Y2K issue, which provides a unique window into how the technology and business ecosystem came together to address and resolve a problem of epic size and complexity. The book also references the little known but critical part played by the risk management and insurance community in raising attention and supporting a successful resolution.
Nancy's book is exhaustively researched and brings together a wealth of sources and information on this topic. Her approach makes the subject both accessible and compelling. This book has profound implications today, as the world is far more technology-dependent now than it was at the threshold of Y2K - and there are likely comparable systemic problems out there for us to discover and resolve.”
