Y2K: The Winter of Our Disconnect What will happen in January 2000? How will the world function, or, better yet -- how wont it function? Robert X. Cringely, host of the widely acclaimed TRIUMPH OF THE NERDS and NERDS 2.0.1: A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE INTERNET, dissects, decodes and de-bugs the Y2K dilemma in Y2K: THE WINTER OF OUR DISCONNECT. In the one-hour program, Cringelys car breaks down near a small, rural town called Pleasantville, which becomes the backdrop for his explanation of how Y2K originated and how everyday people will deal with its repercussions.
