About the Book
Have you ever wondered what it's like to get bitten by a zombie?
To live through a bioweapon attack? To have every aspect of your life
governed by invisible ants? In Cory Doctorow's collection of novellas,
he wields his formidable experience in technology and computing to give
us mindbending sci-fi tales that explore the possibilities of
information technology – and its various uses – run amok. Anda's Game is a spin on the bizarre new phenomenon of "cyber sweatshops," in which
people are paid very low wages to play online games all day in order to
generate in-game wealth, which can be converted into actual money.
Another tale tells of the heroic exploits of "sysadmins" – systems
administrators – as they defend the cyber-world, and hence the world at
large, from worms and bioweapons. And yes, there is a story about
zombies, too.
