I Was Actually Writing a Book

The sample copies arrived today. Sales start at bookstores nationwide and on Amazon from 5/18.

This book compiles answers to the typical questions and sticking points I’ve encountered while advising or consulting for various companies, and when friends and juniors have asked me things.

I think it’s packed with advice and hints for a wide range of readers: people who work in manufacturing but have no clue about IoT, people who know IoT but have never seen or heard about the realities of startups, and people who have nothing but a dream, want to start a business, and are lost about which way to turn.

I’ve always loved books and read a lot of them, but this is actually the first time I’ve published one of my own, and having the physical copy arrive like this stirs up a lot of emotion.

Flipping back through it, I feel like I’ve lined up items that are less “packed with know-how you can use right away♪” and more “rich in content you should read closely and take as your foundation” — a bit stiff, a bit heavy, but valuable (that might come through in the cover design too).

What kind of response will it get. Will it make anyone happy. I’m looking forward to finding out.
