Comment #171, Untitled, and the Two Scotts

£3.00

In December 2014 a computer scientist wrote a long comment on his own blog about how miserable his adolescence had been. Within a week people were summarising it, condemning it and defending it, mostly on the strength of each other's summaries.

This book goes back and reads what was actually written, by whom, and what came next. It's about nerds, sex and feminism, but really it's about what happens when thousands of people skip the original and argue about it for ten years anyway.

What you get: a ZIP file containing the book as a PDF (145 pages) and an EPUB, so you can read it on a computer, tablet or e-reader.
