I believe the series has been optioned for film/TV so we might get to see a Memex being used on screen by Angleton. Mind you - that does the raise the alarming question of what Teapot would look like....

Didn't know that but I'm very excited about it!
If you like the Laundry Files there is another series of books with a similar premise and setup but slightly more towards the dark humour side of things called Oddjobs.
If you have a kindle prime sub they are included.

I will absolutely look at that. Thank you!
They are great, same authors also did the Clovenhoof series.
Premise of that one is Satan gets sacked so they toss him out and he ends up living in a flat in a converted house in Birmingham getting up to all sorts of mischief.
Beautifully written and very very funny.
Somewhere between Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett style humour.
