"THOUSANDS OF PLANES WILL FALL FROM THE SKY!" "NUCLEAR MISSILES WILL LAUNCH THEMSELVES!" "THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES, AS WE KNOW IT, WILL FALL ON JANUARY 1, 2000!" The doomsayers were wrong about the effect of the "millennium computer bug" on society, but Brian W. Fairbanks is right as he hits innumerable worthy targets (big business, big government, religious cults, etc) while examining the hysteria that swept the globe in this underground classic. UNCUT! UNCENSORED! Written in 1999, it's as wise, witty, and relevant as ever. In the end, it's not about the bug at all. It's about us. And THEM!
