Livre 1 sur 2: F**kup Almanac
Synopsis
Everything Worked Exactly As Designed. That Was the Problem.
A €370 million rocket destroyed by a single reused piece of proven code. £440 million wiped from a market in 45 minutes by a rounding error. Facebook disappearing from the internet for six hours — not hacked, not overloaded, just forgotten by its own routing protocol. Four years of Toy Story 2 animation deleted by a single wrong command — from the primary drive and every backup simultaneously.
These were not accidents. They were systems doing exactly what they were built to do. The failures were in the assumptions, the trust, and the architecture nobody questioned until it was too late.
Fuckup Almanac Vol 1 is a documented investigation into 96 real-world technology disasters told with wit, sourced with rigour, and explained so that anyone can understand what actually went wrong.
What makes this different from every other tech failure book:
- 96 real-world cases — from rockets to cloud outages, from database corruption to grid collapse
- 500+ verified, archived sources with a free public bibliography
- 27 concept explainers that make BGP, floating-point, and redundancy failures readable without a computer science degree
- One narrative voice — no jargon walls, no sanitised post-mortems, no mythology
Written for four audiences: engineers who want failure analysis that goes to the mechanism, not the blame — leaders who’ve been told a disaster was ‘human error’ and know that’s not an explanation — students who want to understand how systems actually fail before the textbooks — and curious minds who’ve seen the outage headlines and wondered what really happened.
“A witty chronicle of spectacular failures.” — Kirkus Indie“With sly wit and powerhouse knowledge, Adam Korga helps readers laugh their way through the breakdowns of the digital world.” — Independent Book Review
Volume I of a four-volume investigation. Now also publishing in German — September 2026.
If you’ve ever wondered why the digital world keeps breaking — this is where the answers actually are.

Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. The Digital World is One Wrong Semicolon Away from Collapse.Most tech books are written by the winners. They celebrate "best practices" and "clean code" as if systems exist in a vacuum. But in the real world, systems are built by tired engineers, under impossible deadlines, managed by people with misaligned incentives.The Fuckup Almanac: Volume I is not a celebration of success. It's a forensic audit of failure.From broken math and unreliable clocks to the comforting illusion of "resilience," this book treats every outage, data leak, and systemic meltdown not as an embarrassment, but as evidence. It's a failure-first guide to how modern digital systems actually work-and why they inevitably break.Inside this volume: Betrayal by Logic: Why numbers, timekeeping, and fundamental math are the quietest saboteurs in your stack.The Fragility of "Up" How the internet stays functional-until a single BGP update or a shovel-wielding scrap hunter proves otherwise.Resilience Theater: Why your Disaster Recovery plan is often just a high-budget performance that fails the moment reality refuses to negotiate.Post-Mortem Anatomy: How to look past the "human error" scapegoat and find the systemic rot that actually caused the spark.What this book avoids: No "Success Theater" or motivational fluff.No "this would never happen today" comfort lies.No simplified villains.Who is this for?Engineers, developers, and SREs who know failure is part of the jobTechnologists tired of survivorship bias and success theaterCurious readers who want to understand the digital world they rely onAnyone who suspects complexity hides more than it explainsStop reading about how things should work. Start understanding why they don't. Fuckup Almanac, Vol I explores how digital systems fail, using nearly 100 real-world case studies and 28 explainers to make complex concepts in computing, networks, data, security, and resilience accessible to general readers.
