Synopsis
Arthur Duane Cartwright-Chickering, is fired from his job because the new computer that processes employee files cannot handle his long name.
Note: This was published in 1968, the era of punchcards and magnetic tape, where computers were half room size.
SHADES OF 1984:
WOULD YOU BELIEVE A NICE, EVERYDAY MAN BUCKING THE WORLD'S SMARTEST COMPUTER?
It all began when a decent, ordinary chap named Albert Duane Cartwright-Chickering ran afoul of a powerful, brainy computer named Randolf Datatronic (model 8080).
Things looked bad for our man Albert--until he came up with a secret organization sworn to fight computers to the bitter end.
Even then, the gallant crew were losing the battle--until Albert came up with his incredible secret weapon (a mold cultured in Grape Juice!)
