Bad Faith par Mike Daisey
Started out with promise, but wandered away from the theme of bad faith. Not really funny, too much shouting, and largely incoherent. Luckily, it was short.
This book is amusing, certainly, but I wouldn't exactly call it a great work of computer history. It's basically the story of a humorist working for a corporation, sitting in the cogs. It's inoffensive and worth checking out from the library, but I wouldn't call this a must-have book about the history of the computer industry.
If Mike Daisey had worked in customer service at some other dotcom I'm not sure that his account would have been published.

It was worth the read. Sadly I understood alot of what he was describing...sarcastically or not. The world of being a CS ... and realizing the point that the job is really not for you, was right on the button.
