If you have questions about the contents of the book, it's inception, etc, then feel free to ask.

(I also spoke about the book at the computer museum in Cambridge, so this video might give you some background: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15cC6hq66I0)

If you have questions about the book itself, ask the publisher!

Was the book’s title at all inspired by or an homage to the series 1 title sequence to “Look Around You”?
No - it came from the line of code that everyone liked to type into computers at the local shop:

10 PRINT "My mate is an idiot "; 20 GOTO 10

I suspect they were inspired from the same events.
