A fascinating true tale to geek out on

What did you love best about The Eudaemonic Pie?

If you're a fan of electronics, early microcomputers, or roulette, this is your book. This true story follows the escapades of a group of geniuses from Santa Cruz putting their myriad talents to use predicting roulette with concealed microprocessors. The story is riveting and strikes the perfect balance between entertaining narrative and technical detail.

Steve Tupper's narration of the book is top notch. His obvious passion for the subject matter shines through in the performance and will have any listener hooked from the start.
