Techies Unite: Helen, Sweetheart of the Internet

Rating:
Summary: yuk
Review: The guy who draws/writes this strip doesn't appear to know anything about office life, computers, the Internet or women. And oh, yeah, he doesn't know anything about humor, either. And his people all look like botched versions of Kermit the Frog.

Summary: Helen's a Sweetheart all right!
Review: The humorous satire Peter Zale writes for Helen is right on! Anyone can enjoy this book. But a real techie will love it. We all would like to be Helen (genius, unstoppable, always in control, writes perfect software . . . all right!). But she battles with real human stuff also . . . . and all of us geeks have had problems like hers. But in Helen's case, she puts controlling the economy of Singapore on hold to go out on a date!

Underneath the humor is a real quest to understand the relationship of high technology to us all. It really does affect us . . . and does it rule us? I think we need a few Helens to lead us through that wilderness.
