 ## Pythonic iw
 
 ## 1 DESCRIPTION:
-BLUF: Stop using subprocess.Popen, regular expressions and str.find. PyRIC
-is a python port of a subset of iw and python port of netlink (w.r.t nl80211
-functions).
+BLUF: Why use subprocess.Popen, regular expressions and str.find to interact
+with your Wireless Network Interface Card. PyRIC provides the ability to
+manipuate, identify and enumerate your system's cards. It is a pure python port
+of a subset the functionality provided by iw, ifconfig and iwconfig. PyRIC is:
+* Pythonic: No ctypes, SWIG etc. PyRIC redefines C header files as Python and
+uses sockets to communicate with kernel.
+* Self-sufficient: No third-party files used, PyRIC is completely self-contained
+* Fast: (relatively speaking) PyRIC is faster than using iw through subprocess.Popen
+* Parse(less): Get the output you without parsing output from iw. Never worry about
+iw updates and rewriting your parsers.
+* Easy: If you can use iw, you can use PyRIC
 
 ### a. Background
 PyRIC arose out of a need in Wraith (https://github.com/wraith-wireless/wraith)
