This was my first time reading any of the Johnny Maxwell books.
I've checked book 2 out from my library already.
No footnotes (other than one in the introduction).
The book was published in 1992 and features the first Gulf War and computer games of war (space battles). Fascinating to see online gameplay mentioned before it was available. I also didn't find any terribly cringe-worthy language or themes even when including a preteen female gamer.
Obligatory link to Annotated Pratchett File at lspace for the book:
