   Thanks to @kasdeya for posting this highly memeable photo of an old computer book. But I wondered: which book?

   I figured out it's from "The Internet Guide for New Users" by Daniel P. Dern, 1994.

   The illustrator, Hannah M. G. Shapero, has been involved with technology and art for a very long time. Here she is doing some early electronic music, and appropriately looking like she is going to bring us all into the future

   She has a few blogs; this was last updated in 2021. https://pyracanthasketch.blogspot.com/
