The Devouring Fungus: Tales of the Computer Age
Are you someone who'd use a RAM chip as fertilizer? Do you think that the best way to boot up a computer is with a steel toe? Then The Devouring Fungus is the book for you.

Very funny; not just for computer people.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
This book is a real find. It is in some ways a version of "urban legends", those funny/amazing stories that everyone swears are true, that it happened to a friend (or a friend of a friend), or that they heard about it from some other reliable source. The thing is, The Devouring Fungus has both real and legend-type stories. Besides the stories themselves -- certainly things you'll want to send along to friends and families -- the author weaves a nice narrative.
