Snyder is hilarious. Her use of characters and creatures from myths
and legends, to re-depict IT situations by superimposing these
beings from a supernatural realm onto real-life computer industry
events, describes them in a new light, with tremendous insight and
humour. The twelve articles collected here are fun for any Geek on
your gift list.
The wit and wisdom displayed in this book are exceptional, with
everything from step by step instructions on how to install Linux
on a dead badger, to using your dead badger to fight zombies. This
book has it all, from stories about IT helpdesks starting to staff
with zombies to cut down on cost, to using vampires as supervisors
to keep the zombies under control and working, to management having
no brains to begin with so the zombies have no interest in eating
them anyway.
Pick this book up for yourself, for your geek friends or anyone in
IT or computer science; they will ROTFL while reading it.
