Robotech_Master writes "Salon Magazine is running an interesting and thought-provoking short story/novella by Cory Doctorow, co-editor of the b0ing b0ing weblog. This story, 0wnz0red, features programmer/geek terms and references, Descartes, "trustworthy computing," and what happens when programmers gain the ability to hack their own autonomic functions. A really fun read...like Stephenson's works, it feels like it's aimed squarely at the geeks' demographic."

    I'm as geeky as the next guy, but I'm not going to read some crap just because I understand the lingo. I read the first page and it sounds like a story going nowhere fast. Ludlum, now there's an author worth reading, just wish I had more time to get into it.
