I sci-fi/conspiracy/cyberpunk book based upon a network encompasing worm
that goes AI (and nuts to boot). Has many cpunks themese such as anonymity,
remailers, cryptography, networks, distributed systems, etc. My only
negative comment is that the story comes to resolution a tad too easy at the
end. However, it is worth the read.
