| After Y2K™ is a frightfully funny look at what might happen if the Millennium Bug bites hard! Created by Nitrozac, it follows the hapless exploits of a perhaps-slightly-over-paranoid geek as he and his friends seek to come to terms with the legacy of careless coding. The setting: the days and weeks after January 1st, 2000... all computers, high technology, and even electricity is gone... civilization as Geeks know it has collapsed! |
