Year: 1968 ISBN: B0006BUEKE There was not room at the United Metals Corporation for both Albert Duane Cartwright-Chickering (age 62) and Randolf Datatronic (model 8080). Randolf, shiny new computer, assumed that all UMC employees had last names with twenty or less letters. Cartwright-Chickering, senior marketing analyst, had 21, counting the hyphen. Randolf was in, Cartwright-Chickering was out. This is the beginning of the organization to humiliate machines that think they think.
