Two Plus Two Makes Crazy by Walter J. Sheldon
Outdated but enjoyable story of a time when computers rule the world, supported by those who have absolute faith in their thinking powers.
Sheldon was the host of a radio show "Enjoy Japan" which was broadcast on the U.S. Forces' Far East Network.
This is an interesting (though dated - it was first published in 1961) book on Japan. The author tries to explain Japanese attitudes and clear up some common misconceptions. The style is very casual, at times almost to the point of flippancy, which was occasionally annoying, but not enough to detract from my enjoyment of the book.
