Graphic Designer – “What? Sorry, your signal’s breaking up again I can’t..”
Editor – “I said put THE! WEB!! and TWENTY-TWENTY-SEVEN on it!!!… ah crap i dropped my cigar, now my chair’s ON FIRE!!”

Actually, that cover is a visual feast!I would pick that one up.Neeaaa, I've seen worse.Interesting, but I would still take it on a train.It's somewhere between the awful/good scale.Would not like to be seen reading that!Awful... just awful...I swear, thats my flatmates!Gah... my eyes! They are burning!Good Show Sir.... Good Show! (Average: 5.84 out of 10)

    I suppose “The Net” was taken? And “The Information Superhighway” wouldn’t fit on the cover?

  2. Phil Says:

    I never got to this one: reading the first two thousand and twenty-six volumes of this series was more than enough for me.

  3. Frank Says:

    I can see this book…on the “business” shelves.

  4. Tom Noir Says:

    In 2027, the World Wide Web will be powered by a glowing circuit board encased in a ball of fire blasting out names of mid-list sci-fi authors. Awesome!

    How come only the B’s are alphabetized?

    “How come only the B’s are alphabetized?”

    If I had to guess, Maggie Furey’s name is positioned there so it will be in larger letters and give greater prominence to the only featured female author.

    You think this is bad? You should’ve seen the art for the ‘Gopher 2017′ volume I edited about a decade ago.

    Spiderman’s appointment diary was minute accurate.

  9. Anti-Sceptic Says:

    Is this a text book, kind of like “Internetting for Dummies v.2027″?

    One of mine I’m afraid. Not offering excuses.
