There's a bit of childhood/school days background and then it's into F1 and Indycar (the Indy stuff was quite interesting as I didn't know he'd done any of that). I'm about half way through the book now and it's into the McLaren period Leyton House and Williams dealt with!) so depending on your definition of 'modern' that may or may not be of use!
It's certainly an interesting read and some of the insights into performance (or lack of) of the various cars he worked on are easy to correlate to things I remember seeing (eg. the relatively poor early season performance of the 94 Williams).
