I beg to differ. They just asked for a book that explains "how to do pretty much anything" (admittedly pretty vague). i'm assuming they mean things like browsing the internet, composing simple music, editing photos etc. You can do that without knowing any of the things you mentioned - they are part of most operating systems today, so the book would just need to go to that level.And when it comes to programming, the book could just explain how to code simple stuff for example in JavaScript in the browser's "developers tools" (or equivalent).
