The UNIX-HATERS Handbook: Two of the most famous products of Berkeley are LSD and Unix. I don’t think that is a coincidence.

by Simson Garfinkel

In the tradition of 12-step programs that help people overcome their addictions by sharing stories, The UNIX-Haters Handbook is the self-help guide for people affected by the world's most esoteric and most widely used operating system. This book is for all people who are forced to use UNIX. It is a humorous book - pure entertainment - that maintains that UNIX is a computer virus with a user interface. It features letters from the thousands posted on the Internet's "UNIX-Haters" mailing list. It is not a computer handbook, tutorial, or reference. It is a self-help book that will let readers know they are not alone.
