It's a pretty interesting idea, and at least in 1994, was a rather tractable problem. I'm curious how the rise of digital records would get in the way of attempting to obtain a fake identity. You can get through the book in one sitting, which is probably all of the time you'd want to dedicate to such a thing anyway --- the author clearly has some issues with women he needs to work out Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
"Hennessy's original research area was optimizing compilers. His research group at Stanford developed many of the techniques now in commercial use. In 1981, Hennessy started the MIPS project at Stanford with a handful of graduate students. After completing the project in 1984, he took a one-year sabbatical to co-found MIPS Computer Systems, which has since merged with Silicon Graphics. The RISC architecture developed at MIPS has been utilized by a number of companies including DEC, NEC, Siemens, Silicon Graphics, and Tandem. Hennessy's current research at Stanford focuses on the area of designing and exploiting multiprocessors. Most recently, he has been involved in the development of the DASH multiprocessor architecture."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

I can't remember if I managed to get the box out of the building, but I did take one copy home. Now, after many years, as I am cleaning out my own bookshelves, I decided to read it. That trimming is necessary because, although I'd rather not admit it, I fear that I am at risk of becoming a borderline hoarder myself.
The book, with its escape fantasy inducing title, is certainly interesting, well-written, funny and generally an enjoyable read. Doug Richmond is (was?) a proficient storyteller. The book is obviously very outdated (hello, internet!) and has, even for the late 1980s, quite stereotypical views of people and women in particular. Only read this book if you are intrigued by its premise and see it as a fascinating window into a different period. You will not actually be able to use most of what is thought here to disappear in this modern day and age. ( )
