The exact same happened to me! I was terrified this was the type of thing my parents were reading. I think ability to spot satire like this is one of the most stark differences I notice between myself as a child and as an adult.

It was particularly believable to me because I think it was about the same time that the whole apple computer satanic panic thing was going around...

Which in retrospect may have also been satire

It was all completely believable until they got to the part about demanding computer books be removed from local bookstores. Even after that I think it still echoed exaggerated versions of the fears of my parents in the late 90s/early 2000s.
