I have the feeling that for some reason nobody wanted to pay Ed big bucks to
come and lecture to them on the topic of how they were all doomed, so he was
forced to switch tracks and produce:

"The Rise and Resurrection of the American Programmer" (1996):

   http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/013121831X

wherein (I'm told) he basically says that we're all going to become Java Web
Designers so everything is going to be OK now :-)
