[TriLUG] OT: Online book: Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom

[Jon Carnes]

OT = Off Topic

On another list I read regularly, someone posted a link to an online
book they recommended.  Having a few minutes to kill while preparing
lunch for the myself and my 5 year old, I clicked on the link and read
it for awhile.

Well, our lunch pizza got a little more done than it should have,
because the book was a pretty good read and it was hard to tear away. 
It is a good read - not terrific, but really interesting.

The premise is fairly far in the future: infinite free energy and
automation out the wazoo - so no real need to work (unless you want to).

Disney World has become a living museum of sorts, and each section is
run by it's own users groups (they call them "adhocs", but they are
*just* like TriLUG).

I read it in about 4 hours.

Hope you find it as interesting as I did - Jon Carnes
