I feel I should warn you. No computers will be found in this book. If the idea of a computer science book without computers upsets you, please close your eyes until you've finished reading the rest of this page.
The truth is that computer science is not really about the computer. It is just a tool to help you see ideas more clearly. You can see the moon and stars without a telescope, smell the flowers without a fluoroscope, have fun without a funoscope, and be silly sans oscilloscope.
You can also play with computer science without... you-know-what. Ideas are the real stuff of computer science. This book is about those ideas, and how to find them.

A story about computer science and other improbable things.
Laurie is lost in Userland. She knows where she is, or where she's going, but maybe not at the same time. The only way out is through Jargon-infested swamps, gates guarded by perfect logic, and the perils of breakfast time at the Philosopher's Diner.
With just her wits and the help of a lizard who thinks he's a dinosaur, Laurie has to find her own way home.
