Forget for a second that this book confronts the technical problems of a Y2K crisis that never materialized. The book’s allusions to a hoax-apolis of Biblical proportions, and an impending one-world government take the cake. Reading the customer reviews (especially the ones prior to 2000) provide much of the comic relief, and at least one reviewer gets it (or, does he?):

I strongly disagree with one of the reviewers. In it she claims that “not so much as a lightbulb” burned out on Y2K, when clearly this is a false statement!! I remember that a flourescent light in my kitchen burnt out on Y2K, thus proving that the end is near and that aforementioned reviewer will likely suffer the eternal hellfire (although God will make the final decision, of course).

    Actually, it was the work of a lot of engineers (at nice rates) who made sure the lights didn’t go out. I did see a lot of the errors before they were fixed and there were a few nasties out there.

    Maybe I should write a book…

    @Mike: Maybe you should, it sounds interesting enough. If you do, I’ll give you a plug!
