Abstract
Any book the uses the phrase "smack-down" in complete seriousness is okay by me. Bob Boiko's book Laughing at the CIO: A Parable and Prescription for IT Leadership succeeds in great part due to its frank and humourous approach. Touted as "the ultimate cure for executive infophobia" by fellow info guru Peter Morville, Laughing at the CIO offers pragmatic, attainable solutions for how to put the "I" back in "IT".
