Memoirs of a Virus Programmer
by Pete Flies
In this book, we meet Johnny Pepper. He works at the Beamer Corporation when the Internet
and Stock Market are booming. He's dedicated to Katya, a girlfriend he met at a Missionary
party. This book is his memoir, written for her.
I really liked the style in which Pete Flies wrote this. The overly detailed story really
makes you feel like a fly on the wall. I loved the satire and caught myself laughing out
loud a few times when I wasn't sure if I was supposed to. I loved how topics that "shouldn't"
be discussed were plainly written about in an in-your-face-style that, though grotesque
at times, made this book so real. You really experience what Johnny is going through.
The layoffs in his field, September 11, obnoxious office mates and a blowout with Katya
along with other events all lead him to program the virus. The ending was fitting and
oddly appropriate. I enjoyed this book from beginning to end. |
