So this computer scientist is like a real uptight guy, uncomfortable in his own skin, has a hard time relating to people, you know the type, right? So he's in a bookstore, see's a book called "How to Hug," so he thinks yes, this could really help him. So he buys it, takes it home, starts to read it, and damn it if isn't volume 8 of an encyclopedia!
