Rudy Rucker has some pretty crazy stories that always a blast to read (even though, or because you wonder what he was smoking when he wrote them).

One of those stories, Hormiga Canyon, has his protagonist build a computer cluster out of old cell phones, even using the phone's built-in voice recognition to control the cluster.

Does that count as Prior Art? :)

I recommend the Ware tetralogy, it is now available under a CC license. Particularly the last couple of books are a worthy upgrade of Flatland's basic points into current math and science.

timing attacks against the universe?
