Description:
There are scores of computer dictionaries and glossaries out there, and you'll probably want to own more than one. But Andy Ihnatko's Cyberspeak makes a fine little addition to your collection. The word list is not exhaustive, but it's up-to-date, online-heavy, and strikes a nice balance between hip and geek. Many entries are unapologetically opinionated, but the author delivers what most other glossaries lack: a huge dose of cybercultural context. If you don't know that UNIX is "the third most popular religion ... the fifth most popular basis upon which to start a fistfight" you'll soon be up to speed. It isn't all ranting, though. You'll find quick yet solid info-fixes for anything from answerbot to Zmodem.
