Re-Wired: A Parody
Authors: Tim Connor. Jim Downey. Dennis Hayes.
Paperback, 64 pages
Publisher: Perennial
Publication Date: 1996-09
Edition: 1st

Reviews :

    The authors of Martha Stewart's Better Than You Are at Entertaining set their satirical sights on the computer magazine Wired, poking fun at its almost sexual attraction to hardware and software. 100,000 first printing. $50,000 ad/promo....

    In terms of both style and content, Wired was so over-the-top to begin with that it seemed almost parody-proof. Yet several satiric homages have already appeared on the Web, and now comes a letter-perfect spoof from the creators of Is Martha Stuart Living?. It's all here: the impenetrable graphics, the cybermeditations by "John Barry Barleycorn," and an adoring profile of a 16-year-old Net-made millionaire. If the humor sometimes descends to geeky lows, well, Connor and Downey are merely being faithful to their source. ...

Kindle Edition, pages
Publisher: Self via Createspace.com

Edition: First Edition

Reviews :

    I have compiled jokes and short stories that I received in e-mails for years. I do not claim to have written them and give credit where I can, however most are not claimed. It seemed a good idea to compile them into a written form to enable people who do not have computers ( are there any?) to be able to enjoy the crazy humor....
