Farnhams Freehold, Friday and a bunch of others that I can't quite catch the title of right now (my books are in storage in a warehouse nearby, I'll have a look when I get there again).

The one I'm thinking of (but not sure what the title is) features a park that is a reclaimed stretch of highway where people are free to do as they please in a society teeming with surveilance. The park is supervised by cops eyes, floating cameras that double as little weapons platforms.

A tinkerer brings them down and chaos ensues.

Nice insight in the human mind in there, and how thin the veneer of civilization is.

That last one is Niven's "Cloak of Anarchy", and he has it online at http://www.larryniven.org/stories/cloak_of_anarchy.shtml.

Ah, yes, you're absolutely right.

That's why I couldn't find the title :)

thanks!

It must be 15 years since I last read those and it was in pretty quick succession while quite ill.

You need a database of your books. :)

I have most of it in my head but that needs periodic refresh :)
