STRUCTIONS FOR AN EXPLODED POST-NOVEL<br>This is not a novel.<br>Don't think you can just hold your nose and jump into this.<br>You might get boiled or vaporized. Anodized.<br>THIS IS NOT A NOVEL<br>Before you start reading an exploded post-novel, you should think strategy.<br>While we do recommend reading this book from front to back--left to right--you can skip around as you please. It is disguised as a scrapbook. You can channelsurf it. Or graze through sections, munch munch munch. After you acquire the taste, you'll feel strong enough to start at the beginning and read through to the end, in precisely that order. Don't take too much at one sitting. Do not overdose. It's dense, fast. Things get technical. There's a relentless quality to the first-person narrative that may exhaust you secondhand. Read only until the vertigo overwhelms you. When you find yourself crying out, "For god's sake, give it a break!!!". . . well, exactly. Put the book down. . . gently. Rest. Watch

Seller: The Bookery @ Rochester, LLC, Rochester, VT, U.S.A.
Hardcover. Condition: Good. 1st Edition. From a Publishers Weekly review when the book came out in1996: In the very near future, a war will break out over the direction of the Internet. On the side of greater control of online behavior will be an authoritarian-minded government and a strained coalition of feminists and right-wingers concerned with matters of decency. On the other side will be the ``cypherpunks'' who develop encryption codes too complex to be broken, media pranksters for whom the message is the medium, and the child pornographers, pedophiles and hatemongers who exploit a ``free'' Net. The book offers no real story line, no viable characters and absolutely no perspective, though it does include myriad examples of the lively, punning language of the Net (``scroom'' for screw them, for example). The narrative makes fun of itself, and of us for reading it, and yet demands that the issues it raises be taken seriously. Seller Inventory # 001607
