[NCLUG] Computer Inspired Fiction Recommendations?

[Robie Lutsey]

Along the lines of Neal Stephenson, is an -- essay I guess -- that he
wrote called "In the Beginning was the Command Line".  It is a short
telling of the 'how did we get here' story with respect to Linux, Mac,
and Windows.  He brings up some interesting points about Bill Gates is
partly responsible for making Linux possible. :)  I love irony... 

BTW "In the Beginning was the Command Line" has been made available
online here:

Subject: [NCLUG] Computer Inspired Fiction Recommendations?


Hi everyone,

I've just finished reading Dan Brown's "Digital Fortress" and before 
that Jeffrey Deaver's "The Blue Nowhere." Both of them are thrillers 
based on computers. I thought they were pretty good (and the glaring 
inaccuracies about computers only made it more fun to read) and was 
wondering if anyone had any recommendations on other works of fiction 
that a computer person might like (any Linux fiction out there?)

Thanks,

Marcio Luis Teixeira
