Although [this book] focuses on technology, it's not an assault course for geeks. For one thing the spine's not wide enough for a chiphead manual.

Chathead is an early internet slang term for a chat room user — someone who habitually frequents online chat rooms. Rare and largely obsolete, it belongs to the late 1990s and early 2000s era of dial-up internet culture, when chat rooms were a primary form of online social interaction. The '-head' suffix implies someone defined by or addicted to that activity (cf. 'metalhead,' 'deadhead'). It has a nostalgic flavour today, evoking the pre-social-media internet.
