A really, really, really NERD novel by Cory Doctorow that tells about a bunch of sysadmins that strive to keep the good ol’ Net online after a catastrophic event that brought the entire world to its knees. They fight with scarce power and food supplies and communicate over the Usenet… using the good old alt. hierarchy.
Vote: 10+ for the geekiest thing I’ve ever read. It’s really worth the hour needed to read it completely. Enjoy it
