Enjoy! :)

This arrived in the mail today - it looks just like the kind of book I would choose for myself. Thank you for sending it vedranaster

This took me a long time to get throug. At times it was just to boring, at times it was really interesting. The story is very thought provoking: What would happen if...

This was written in the beginning of the 90's and a lot of things have happend in the computer field since then… scarily a lot of the predictions in the book have come rather close to today's reality...

Released at Møn Friskole swap-day. Everyone is welcome! You can find the book on the book table:-)
