> It's about a soviet scientist

It's actually about a soviet software engineer, and A LOT of the things in this book is still very relevant to our trade today.

Rather programmer than software engineer, I think that that time, his work was mainly just calculate something, not to write software products and such.

Incidentally, the spirit of the book fits both communistic, and hacker's views: work overtime, because you like it, not for an extra reward.
