Has everyone out there read Shockwave Rider (by John Brunner) yet?
It's about a person who has a supersecret password for this world
net.  The protagonist runs around writing `tapeworms', programs which
`live' by propagating themselves around the net.  It's a really good
book.  I seldom buy books, but this is one that I own.  (I don't buy
books because I read most sf books at about one hundred pages an hour.
A three dollar paperback lasts about two/two and a half hours at that
rate.)
