Dr. Harvey and the 8 Fallacies of Distributed Computing

A weathered old journal among a ramshackle collection of old antiques contained the stories of Dr. Harvey Fallacious a 19th-century explorer and researcher detailing his travels and explorations in remote then-uncharted regions of South America. But hidden in this journal were stories related to the 8 Fallacies of Distributed Computing which wouldnt even be officially coined by Peter Deutsch until 160 years later. Learn about the Fallacies of Distributed Computing each with a light-hearted introduction from Dr. Harveys journal.
