Résumé

The follow-up to the highly successful first collection of User
Friendly comic strips from O'Reilly & Associates, Evil
Genuises in a Nutshell tells the continuing tale of
Columbia Internet, "the friendliest, hardest-working and most
neurotic little Internet Service Provider in the world." Take three
techs, two salespeople, a designer, two executives, a couple
of administrative staff, mix in a mischievous Artificial Intelligence
and a "dust puppy" born from the innards of a mega server, put
them all together in a crowded little office, and you have the
makings of one of the most off-beat, original and funny comic
strips to come along in years.

User Friendly reads like Dilbert for the Open Source community.
With a massive online following, it provides outsiders a light-hearted
look at the world of the hard core geek, and allows those who make
their living dwelling in this world a chance to laugh at themselves.

The User Friendly fan base is growing by almost 30% a month, and
this title has the potential to help foster a greater sense of cultural
identity between O'Reilly and its customer base. There is also the
potential to attract a newer, younger audience who are fans of User
Friendly but are not as familiar with O'Reilly.
