War and Peace and IT Glossary
When my publisher asked me to write a glossary for War and Peace and IT, I happened to be re-reading Ambrose Bierce’s The Devil’s Dictionary, his cynical and amusing re-thinking of the dictionary that included definitions like “BORE, n: A person who talks when you wish him to listen” and “BACK, n: That part of your friend which it is your privilege to contemplate in your adversity.” Well, you can imagine what happened when I sat down to write my glossary. My publisher later convinced me that there was a need for a serious definition of each term, but my initial definitions have survived in the blue text.
