Product Description

"Widely regarded as one of the UK's leading technology commentators" - .net magazine

Things move fast in technology. In 1998 Google was still in a garage, Microsoft ruled the world and the internet was made of wood. iPods, YouTube and Facebook were years away. Phones were rubbish, getting online cost a fortune and Gary Marshall tried to convince the readers of .net magazine that the Hitler Diaries had been written by a small dog.

Luckily for him, the dog didn't sue.

Gary Marshall has been writing about technology like a pixelated PJ O'Rourke since 1998. In this collection of tech journalism from titles including .net, PC Plus, Techradar.com and Official Windows Magazine Gary picks through the PR nonsense, inflated claims and the reality distortion fields of the tech industry to concentrate on the big issues - issues such as, "does Google's Eric Schmidt really own a coat made of human skin?", "just how evil does Facebook need to become before people stop using it?" and "why are we being chased around the internet by adverts for horrible shirts?"

There's no story to this at all... 18 Dec 2011

By Jason W

Format:Kindle Edition

There's no story to this at all... there's no character development, no plot - no real narrative - but then narrative sucks: It has to make sense, and be coherent, and stuff. Wait... What's that? It's a collection of articles that Gary's written over the last million years or so since this internet thing went mainstream? Then it makes perfect sense.

These articles - mostly humourous but all with a (perhaps geeky) thought-provoking point, were all penned by Gary for various publications for which he write, some of the technologies and organisations mentioned have been and gone but the stories are worth telling. Although Gary himself claims in this that he's not a proper geek (I think this is because he does all his writing on a keyboard and doesn't own a lab coat with 38 uncapped biros stuffed in the top pocket - but keyboard tends to imply geekish leanings, lab coat implies boffinry in my ebook that sits in my lab coat pocket). Having heard the guy on the radio he's maybe not a true geek, but he is most definitely a technology evangelist (when it does something worthwhile) and if he thinks it's rubbish he says so (then eats his words 6 months later when it takes off and becomes the next big thing).

It's not something that you need to read from cover to cover in a single go (although I confess I did) it's something you can dip in and out of - if you've got a spare 5 minutes to fill, there's a chapter to fill it for you - made me laugh out loud inappropriately in a meeting too.
