[Tentatively, Convenience]

As w/ so many of these bks that I'm hereby reviewing for GoodReads, I read this many yrs ago & only vaguely remember it. Its physical design is taken from Chariman Mao's famous Little Red Book of Quotations. I might've started reading it thinking that it wd just be flippant parody (wch I often like but wch can also be too much of a cheap shot) but ended up thinking that it was actually pretty sensible & clever.

R.U. Sirius is Abbie Hoffman meets digital media dissident, and a one-man anarcho-Electronic Frontier Foundation. Bleeding edge recherche + profound yet irreverent communications critique from a prankster/anti-authoritarian/counter-cultural writer.
