I've tracked you down! 10 years ago one was labeled a geek for having a 25k modem and an email address, but now broadband and email are about as mainstream as it gets. All the boy bands rely on the internet to allow their fans to download from iTunes, and most up and coming bands of bright young things will have blogs and MySpace accounts. So the geek has inherited the earth, sort of, and mindless hacks like Rachel Cooke manage to demonstrate their obliviousness to the history of the internet revolution rather clearly. By the way. I have no idea what 7 * 8 is. Sorry. Hello Tim. I’ve tracked you down!

A dull science-fiction novel which is deeply symbolic of man's struggle against his socio-polical environment! Wait, that was "Snow Crash". Never mind. Why not have the best of both worlds?
