This is back in print. One of the few "comic" s-f books around. Ah, yes. Very good book, is "Stargate", by Stephen Robinett If you have worked on an BIG, nasty, high tech project, you will see little viginettes that are really guite funny. "Engineering's engineering. You'll get the hang of it. You're a bright boy. ... I kind of paved the way... They think the engineering Albert Einstien is coming." "Gee thanks!" "Think nothing of it." Bernie, that master of understatement. The book was never a great seller, I wonder why... Patrick Powell
