Tyrion Lannister

Tyrion started his day in his office with a visit from Columbus, who helped set up that ... noisy box-thing that he called a computer.

Books still seemed far simpler. Quieter, lighter to travel with, and you didn't need to anchor them to the wall with a cord.

Still, once Tyrion had the gist of it, the computer wasn't hard. You just pressed certain keys and it did what you told it to. By the end of the hour, he had a reasonable grasp of what an Internet was and an invitation from Columbus to join him in something called World of Warcraft -- a game, no actual swords or shields involved.

That, though, would be for later. Now was for research. Browser still directed at Wikipedia, he started down the list of things people had mentioned in class that he didn't yet know about: Pope. Vampire. Gotham City. Latvian. Russian. It would be hard, slow work, learning a whole world piecemeal, but Tyrion was determined.

.. and only slightly distracted by the artwork on the vampire entry.
