5.0 out of 5 stars
Monty Python's IT dept. meets The Onion on PRNewsWire,
By Athanasius Kircher (San Francisco & London) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The TORPOMETRONOMICON (Paperback)
This book, like AcmeVaporware itself, is one of the most painfully hilarious non-sequitur doppelganger techno-apparitions to emerge from the Roaring Nineties. It's Monty Python's IT department meets The Onion on PRNewsWire in a fission/fusion reactor on meth on crack with a side of ham ("Hey, ham!"). Clemenceau continues to tear out corporate America's porcine, techno-black artificial heart and show the sputtering Jarvik kluge-networking-blob to its robotic victim -- um, in a really funny way. He even manages to lampoon the publishing industry's patented "logrolling" quote machine (see the riotously funny quotes on the back cover, along with the book's rule-breaking marketing blurb). Rampant sloth induction was never so much fun.

It impacted.com me with its gravitas.com, both humor-wise and insightfulness-wise.,
By Lou Ford (San Diego, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The TORPOMETRONOMICON (Paperback)
Brilliant, bizarre, sardonic, hilarious. Imagine Mark Leyner, Thomas Pynchon, and Steve Martin forced to share a brain and work as copywriters and marketeers for an alternate-reality mid-century-retro IBM that somehow finds itself in the 90s.
If you are not dumb, and can read, this book is for you! Enjoy. |
