    About this ebook

    Metho was the leader of the Crew, a band of outlaws who plied their trade on the mean streets of Rosetown, and he wasn't happy. The streets were changing. Gentrification had come to Rosetown, and the place was filling up with weird, aspirational property speculators. They came. They saw. They developed medium density housing with spectacular views close to the city center.

    To make matters worse, Metho's business was going down the tube. The new residents weren't interested in buying anything that the Crew had to offer, even though they were famed for selling the finest drugs in all of Melbourne, at unbelievable prices.

    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.
