Review
"Whether you love or loathe the Internet, this has all-embracing appeal. And if you're of the non-nerd persuasion, this is a fantastic opportunity for you to reassure yourself that you're not really missing out on the telecommunications revolution."
--Cyberia Magazine
"If you read nothing else about the Internet, take to heart the succinct warning on page six: "Unlike normal computing, which is important and useful, the Internet is trivial and virtually useless, but a fascinating way to waste all that spare time you have now that your job has been taken by a computer." "

From the Back Cover
The Internet, the Information Superhighway, Cyberspace, the World Wide Web - all describe the same simple idea: computers linked by telephone lines. But, like any good con artist, the Internet uses several names, each designed to deceive in different ways.
However, the Internet has one highly important quality. People believe it must be interesting. This makes the Internet the ideal subject to bluff about. Whether or not you use it, with this book you will be able to hold your own with experts and, more importantly, steer the conversation away to something else. You will sound informed and convincing. At least, to anyone who knows next to nothing about the Internet. Which means pretty much everyone you see on television, hear on the radio, or meet outside their own bedroom.
