I remember reading this back in the ancient days.
Being exposed to this information as a preteen with a dial-up connection to my local BBS definitely affected my life, maybe for the better, maybe for the worse.
That being said, most of the recipes in this book are bullshit, don't trust them, but it is still fun and interesting reading as long as you accept it as sort of a science fiction how-to for the 1990s.

Flashbacks to being a kid in the 90s with unsupervised access to the internet. Was it hackers.com? Hacking.com? Loads of textfiles and information on wardialing and using telnet. Slip over to AstaLaVista for them registration keyz and crackz. Hop on IRC, head to #mp3z and hit up the fservs to spend 15 minutes downloading a 3 minute song as fast as the poor little 56k will allow. Take over your friend's computer with Sub7 or Bo/2k (you remembered to set up ICQ notifications, right? I still remember my ICQ number).
When this upload expires you can almost certainly find it again somewhere on textfiles.com, along with a collection of other texts archived from various Bulletin Board Systems (which pre-date me), hacker scene stuff (2600, Cult of the Dead Cow, l0pht, etc), Church of Subgenius texts, ASCII art/porn, etc. A personal cDc favorite is "Reverie" by Reid Fleming. I might've been 13 when I read it and didn't ever smoke until my late teens but, sometime in my 20s, I had a particularly good baggy that let me press a small piece of hash. So over a decade later I recall a short story I once read, about recollecting and the things that bring it about no less, and knew what to do with it. It's weird the things that stick with you over the years.
Anyway, to the text: If memory serves, there's at least a couple great ways to blow yourself up in there. And if anyone does decide to smoke three or four cigarettes worth of dried banana peel, be sure to report back on your findings.
