A stunning statistic I just made up shows that 95% of us don't fully realize how technology affects our lives.
This book is not going to help.
What it will do is propose answers to important tech questions like:
1) How is Harry Potter like Windows 10?
2) Who had the worst luck during the hacking of an adultery website? And, of course...
3) Is the internet really like a snowblower?
These and at least 197 other burning technological issues are addressed in The Internet is Like a Snowblower (And 200 Other Things I Got Wrong About Tech This Year). Each story contains a true event ("Google Translate can now interpret 27 languages") followed by an rash, uninformed assumption loosely based on that true event ("Their next goal is an update in time for the Republican debates so we'll know what the hell Donald Trump is talking about").
This is a technique top creative writing professors at your finer colleges like to call "making stuff up.”
Look, there are plenty of sources where you can get tech news presented with thorough research, enlightening insight, and relevant analysis. But I think we can all agree that books based on wild conjecture with just the flimsiest link to reality have been sorely lacking. Finally, with The Internet Is Like A Snowblower, there's equal time for the shallow, reckless rambling about tech the world has been craving.
With three or four stories per page, it's a perfect book for finding out what proctologists think about Spotify while you ignore a TV commercial or why pizza-making robots should get their own TV show while you stand in line at Best Buy.
So if you like tech, and are willing to trade accuracy for laughs, there are over 200 reasons you should read this book. And you don't have to believe me. A noted comedy critic with the impeccable credentials of being my wife has stated, "It's pretty funny. I'm not all that into technology, but I got through over half of this book, and, if Doctor Who hadn't come on, I may have finished it!"
