Edson Hendricks is bullied because he is so smart (people accuse him of getting answers from his father who is the principal) and has red hair. He finds comfort in an imaginary world where he has machine parts, and no internal organs or emotions. Years later, Edson's strange capacity to think like a machine helps him create a new way for computers to communicate. His 'connectionless' network design paves the way for today's Internet."--Amazon.com.
