Synopsis
Electronic Life is a 1983 non-fiction book by Michael Crichton, an author better known for his novels. The book was intended to introduce the idea of personal computers to a reader who might be faced with them at work or at home for the first time. It defined basic jargon and assured readers that they could master the machine when it inevitably arrived. Electronic Life is written as a glossary, with entries like "Afraid of Computers (everybody is)," "Buying a Computer," and "Computer Crime".
