Face Book - I Told You So

Why o why? For the last decade I have been telling anyone who would listen that Face Book was a disaster waiting to happen.

I have never had a Face Book account, and because of that I have never been able to look at a Face Book page. I have no idea what Face Book really offers or promises, although I have my suspicions.

The Zucchini Mountain is a very small character who features in my books. There are lots more like him, and you can find them all and laugh, and also a whole lot of pretty deep philosophy that you will have to work for, in New Radical Management and the New-Radical Thinking series.

Available only from this web site as I don't want to pay Jeff Bezos. He has way-too much now!
