Curious Yellow, anyone? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glasshouse_(novel) > "Curious Yellow is a design study for a really scary worm: one that uses algorithms developed for peer-to-peer file sharing networks to intelligently distribute countermeasures and resist attempts to decontaminate the infected network". Hat tip to HN user cstross (as I discovered the idea via Charlie’s blog): http://www.antipope.org/charlie/blog-archive/October_2002.ht... These topics were first brought to my attention through his amazing novel Glasshouse. I’ve had the pleasure of having my first edition copy of the book signed by the author, and I then promptly loaned it indefinitely to a friend, who then misplaced it. The man himself is a friendly curmudgeon who I am happy to have met, and I have enjoyed reading about the future through his insights into the past and present. Also I must acknowledge Brandon Wiley, who wrote the inspiration for Curious Yellow as far as I can tell. https://blanu.net/curious_yellow.html |
