Learning to be '133+?

[unixronin]

Goose checked out a book from the library today that, as far as I can tell from every glance I've gotten at it, appears to be composed entirely of simulated AIM transcripts.  It's even laid out so each page looks like the author's idea of an AIM window.  I have a creeping dread that by the time she finishes this "book" -- I hesitate to even call it that -- she'll be attempting to communicate entirely in acronyms and emoticons.

Just out of interest, what's the title and author?

I know some of the recent sci-fi/cyberpunk literature have psuedo-IRC and email content. But they definetly don't comprise any significent fraction of the book even.

The author, I don't remember. The title is "ttyl" (yes, in lower case, sans quotes).
