Welcome to the first satirical book about the Internet!

Every day, another cyber-visionary adds another sparkling spire to the fabulous Wired City of the Future: rooms that think, PCs that feel your pain, micro-electrical devices that warn you when youre about to be mugged An e-topia set in a sea of genetically modified money that grows ALL BY ITSELF without boring old profits or products!

The analog world and its bricks-and-mortar dinosaurs have been swept away by a Silicon Tsunami! The Wired have crushed the Tired! And with them they have brought an outlandish tribal language only THEY can understand!

Do you REALLY know what URL and XML mean? Or the origin of sinister terms like drop-and-drag end-user fat media and worst of all, up-time? Have you any idea why something is through-put instead of put-through?
