About this ebook
This book contains a dozen tales to amuse any fan of technology humor or science fictional dark comedy. Many of the stories are what Green Man Review has dubbed "cyberzombie humor"; the title story is one of the most popular features ever to appear at the acclaimed science fiction magazine Strange Horizons.

I suppose this counts as a short story collection, although only the last three pieces are traditional stories. The rest of the book consists of fake news features (or, in the case of the title piece, a technical manual), all of which seem to be set in the same universe: one where technology and necromancy have become intertwined, where zombies can be controlled by computer, and where corporate IT is outsourced to demons. The humor is a bit variable, and may work best if you're a hardcore computer geek (which I'm not, exactly), but the best bits are brilliantly funny, and the entire thing (all 101 pages of it) would be worth it just for the satirical piece about relatives of dying people signing them up to labor after death in zombie sweatshops to cover their medical bills.
