Reviews on that one[^] seem to be either 1 or 5. Which way did you land?
Quote was from one of the Dirk Gently books. I was trying to think of appropriate line from Poltergeist and I blanked.

Ah, yes, the electric monk. 
I like Threshold and I wish the guy would hurry up and finish the trilogy already.

I kind of got lost at the strap line "Handsome, successful and fabulously wealthy Peter Cory had always assumed he'd make his own good fortune".
If he's already h s & f, surely he inherited his good fortune - if not he's had to bloody work for it!

You have to read the book. 
The back cover actually says more than that.
P.S. As luck would have it, I just bought a new all-in-one printer thingy and needed to test the scanner. Threshold.png (1,038.4 KB)

Jeff Bezos is nothing if not a showman. Amazon's CEO loves a good reveal, and took the opportunity afforded by a 60 Minutes segment to show off his company's latest creation: drones that can deliver packages up to five pounds, to your house in less than half an hour. "Fly my pretties, fly"

So freaking true...
Even this one that might go nowhere but it's already enough to make more people think about Amazon for the Christmas presents

Oh please. That's not just fake, but stupidly fake. We all know there's exactly no chance of a worker being punished for botching delivery of your package. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Latest worldwide usage figures for PC/Mac operating systems and browsers show little change in November, a traditionally slow month. But a close look at the numbers shows that the free Windows 8.1 and OS X Mavericks upgrades were a hit. People like free stuff! News at 11.

Microsoft's Internet Explorer 11 web browser officially launched in October when it was included in the Windows 8.1 update, but the final version for Windows 7 was not released until early November. Today, newly updated numbers from a research firm Net Applications shows that IE11 surged up nearly two percentage points in November to claim 3.27 percent of the worldwide web browser market share, up from just 1.49 percent in October. This month, 3.27%. Next month, the world!

Windows Phone 8 has been available on the market since late-October, 2012. That makes it more than a year old in human time and quite a bit older in tech years. They keep forgetting to put an Apple logo on it

The idea of planning a year in advance is absolute nonsense, and we all know it.' Because they'd rather not pay for anything?
