I've had this vague recollection of that book for over a decade and could never find it despite multiple search attempts and even requests on tip-of-my-tongue esque forums. I just could not remember any useful specific information about it for the life of me.

To make this discovery from a random thread so organically is incredible.

Many thanks to you and @Stache_@lemmy.ml both.

Oh nice! Happy to have helped! To be honest there’s not much else I can remember from the book either haha.

You're not alone - what I did remember was completely incorrect. I would have sworn that the cover was burgundy with the title in black lettering. Also I had thought the whole time it was called Big Brother - which was quite the wrench in the machine when it came to searching online. Wrong on both counts. Goes to show how fallable memory is.

My library didn't have a copy but the author has it available for free on his website in a few different formats. I'm looking forward to reading it - it's a good deal longer than I'd thought. Thanks again.
