This book will make you cringe with horror as you look in its mirror and see what you have become, what we have all become. It will also make you laugh until the tears run down your face. It may make you resolve to change, but you probably won't. You may not even be able to. ''They'' may not allow it.
Thanks to the publisher, Granta, for sending this wonderful book.

|comment= I like the sound of this! And I have to say that the shock of first time seeing 'My Computer' and 'My Documents' rather than the exquisite pleasure of designing your own directory (sorry, folder!) structure as it was in the old days of DOS and Win 3.1 still has not worn off for me...

|comment= I am reading it now, Sue, and it's great, I might even buy it. It's also a more serious book than I expected it to be; and in some ways addresses similar issues (in a lighter way maybe but not always) as Furedi's [[Culture of Fear]] I wrote about somewhere here.
