About This Book

A comic first-person essay in which a suburban CPA recounts receiving frequent calls from rating services and misdialed callers, speculates that aspects of his phone numbers influence popular taste, offers a playful theory connecting numbers, psychology, and probability, discusses New York's role in shaping fads, and expresses delight in his inadvertent cultural influence while keeping his identity secret to preserve the phenomenon.
