"Press [ENTER]" is one of my favourite books.

I picked it up one day with the intent to just read the first paragraph to see what it was about. 3-4 hours letter I had finished the book without realising.

This happened again, twice. Such a good book.

May he rest in peace.

This story has been somewhere in the back of my head forgotten for decades. Thank you so much for the reminder, I'm going to re-read it. Kluge!!

Novella actually :-)

Very good story. Published at about the same time as Vernor Vinge's True Names, which while quite different explored some of the same proto-Internet themes.

Wouldn’t reading the synopsis be a better way of discovering what a book is about than buying it and reading the first paragraph?

As my case has demonstrated, the answer is a resounding "no" :)

Wow so passive-agressive.
