Best viewed with Page Style->"No Style", unfortunately.

Try Readability ( http://lab.arc90.com/experiments/readability/ ) It's great for reading large quantities of text on the web.

I played the adventure game based on this book. Disturbing and intriguing and highly recommended (it runs smoothly on dosbox). On my To-read list.

Yes, very disturbing game. Fun fact: The sinister computer is voiced by Harlan Ellison.

Jesse Ruderman's zap colors bookmarklet (https://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/zap.html) cleans it up nicely as well.

Note that a simple edit of the bookmarklet code can provide tinting of the background. And it all runs local.

He also has one that kills (most) CSS styling.

I've often heard of this, but only just read it for the first time.

When reading this, I was struck by how much more horrifying it would be if the characters were running on the computer instead of being physically inside it.

Can you imagine being restarted and seeing the terrible fate of thousands of your previous incarnations?
