Dave Gorman's Googlewhack Adventure

Product Information

Gorman is an accomplished comic – his last tour was more conventional, though still used PowerPoint – but there are few quotable lines to amuse your pub mates here.

This book is about creating things that do, from a master innovator who brings science and art together in his cutting edge labs. Dave is supposed to be writing a novel but gets distracted when he discovers “google whacking” - the art of finding word combos that generate only one hit on Google. Sage Page are also active members of the PCI Security Standards Council (SSC) that defines card industry global regulation.Over the next weeks, Gorman traveled tens of thousands of miles, everywhere from Columbus, Ohio, to Beijing, China, meeting googlewhacks, trying to string together 10 in a row by getting two new googlewhacks from each person he met. Remember when you were a kid, and you used to go round to a friend's house to see if they were playing? This is a very amusing book, and it includes photos of a lot of the people he met along the way which is good, as I always like to be able to put a face to a name.

He seems genuinely interested in the people he met along his journey, and this adds surprising warmth to his story as well as humour.

It's hard to divorce the book from the show, but Gorman's tale of his descent into the insanity of a Googlewhacking rabbit hole is enjoyable to read and helps to fill in the gaps that he has omitted from his show.

One chain dies out when he meets Duane Gish, a creationist who cannot be persuaded to find a Googlewhack. The arc of each chapter (find new guy - have assumptions - meet them and shatter stereotypes) became a little monotonous.

Gorman began performing the stage show in Australia during March 2003, a fortnight after the events had happened. The show uses Gorman's usual style of incorporating charts and maps into a story with a ludicrous premise, and was created to pay back the publishers' advance for his unwritten novel.Dave accidentally starts off on an adventure to meet with the people that run these strange and unique sites. I guess at the time I'd read a few other books in this genre of "funny books about strange adventure written by British comedians" (e.
