Using the very latest in Pageturn technology, this full-color spoof of everyone’s favorite information-superhighway-thingie redraws the world wide web via the most cutting edge of gadgets—a book.

Recommended "sites" to visit include Notbitch—the world's nicest gossip site, Bullies Reunited—relive your teenage days of beating people up for money, Poormatch.com—the world's worst dating site, and Porn for girls by girls—hardcore social lunch with the parents, and roughly taken on a romantic weekend! So dump that PDA, grandpa, drown your mouse, and dropkick your iPhone into a nearby pond. Portable and wireless, with no battery required and 95% virus free, the internet in a book provides the traditional internet pleasures of surfing, stalking, and having your credit card details stolen, all at the turn of a page!

Corporation Freak
Authors: Heywood Gould.
Kindle Edition, pages
Publisher: Tolmitch Press
Publication Date: 2008-02-20


Reviews :

    This is a witty, wise and brilliantly funny true record of what happens when a hopeful young revolutionary invades the corporate jungle. The pay was generous the work easy, and his colleagues decent at the Advanced Systems Development Division of IBM, America's technocratic giant. So why did Heywood Gould leave? And why do so many of the country's brightest and most creative young people reject corporate enticements? Was the corporation freak really an undercover provocateur working from within to undermine the system, or was he genuinely interested in the subtle distinctions of office size and executive comportment? When the comfortable crew cut ensconced within IBM's maternal walls confronts the hairy individualist-hustler at the water cooler, on coffee breaks, at top- level closed circuit TV meetings, and around the sexy secretary's desk, verbal bombs explode into one of the zaniest and most enjoyable reading experiences of today.
