    About this ebook

    This book is about computers. Not about how computers work or how to use them because there's too much of that rubbish about already.
    Rather, this is a book about how computers have stuffed everything up.
    The stories contained herein demonstrate, with utmost clarity, how the silicon menace has made people's lives more difficult and less fun. Even in the stories where computers aren't in the thick of the action, they are lurking in the background and polluting the lives of the characters from a distance. The bastards.
    So if you think computers suck, then this is the book for you. Buy it and be enlightened. Oh, you'll need a computer to read it because it's an ebook. See? Evil at work...

    Author

    Hercules Bantas

    Dr Hercules Bantas has been teaching and reading the human sciences for the better part of a decade. It is his opinion that he is too often immersed in some weighty tome or other, the authors of which always use one thousand words where one hundred words would suffice. It was while juggling no less than three weighty tomes by the same author and trying to understand what the fellow was trying to say that the idea of The Reluctant Geek Guides was born. He is well aware that publishing clearly written and unambiguous guides to important ideas in the human sciences is frowned upon in some circles, but he's going to do it anyway. Despite his well documented grumpiness, Hercules claims to like people and can be contacted by email at reluctantgeek[at]tpg.com.au.

      A writer friend posted on Twitter: “So I’m reading scary stuff like if your book doesn’t have at least 10 reviews by the end of the first week, it will disappear into a black hole, never to return. Is this true?” This was my response: “As long as you
