#14Ted Nelson, "Computer Lib / Dream Machines", OCLC 03073731, 69 pages according to a library record that I found, though I would have guessed it had somewhat more than that.

Is it possible the TNH’s book title is “no death, no fear”?

#20"Letter to a Christian Nation" (96 pgs) addressed many of the problems I had with my Christian upbringing and allowed me to finally be comfortable with the idea of giving it up. I have been much happier since reading it.
