Clyde is a computer with a
human personality and, (like all computers) has
an independent attitude. He lives in an
advertising agency with his user, Sam, where
Clyde causes trouble, while Sam, of course, gets
blamed. Clyde does, however, have a weakness and,
at times, gets carried away with the lure of the
Internet.
Clyde amplifies our love-hate relationship with
computers (love them when they work; want to dump
them off a cliff when they're obstinate), and has
his own opinions, which he offers without being
prompted. But it does not stop there. Clyde is
more human than computer. He goes through life's
situations just like the rest of us. He wants
companionship, feels the effects of aging, cheats
at cards, and overall has a life of his own while
we look in and get some laughs along the way.
If you spend any time with a computer, you'll get
a kick out of this book. Isn't it time you had a
laugh at your computer's expense?
