IT IS TRUE that the paperback edition of my second book of complete world knowledge, MORE INFORMATION THAN YOU REQUIRE will be available in paperback on November Third.
AROUND THAT SAME TIME, the audiobook of the same will be released in both DIGITAL and SHINY LASER DRINK COASTER form.
WHILE THE PAPERBACK sadly features only me and my dumb words again, the audiobook allowed me to invite a small group of friends to contribute and, thus, SHARE THE BLAME (and also the red bull and the absinthe).

1969, DALLAS, TX: The first ATM machine is installed. Standing for “AUTOMATED TELLER MACHINE MACHINE,” the first ATM could receive deposits and dispense cash (though only in coins) and was roughly the size of a city block. Despite its name, it was not wholly automated: A single human controller was required to supervise and make manual notations in the customer’s bankbook. He would sit in a little dome atop the machine. However, this bank employee was instructed to wear a tinfoil suit and talk like a machine so as not to ruin the futuristic effect. — SEPTEMBER 2
