When Sys Admins Ruled the Earth

Happy holidays Tom,

Thought you would enjoy this one by sci fi writer Cory Doctorow (think Generation X version of Bruce Sterling) called "When Sys Admins Ruled the Earth"

The story resolves... after a series of horrific events

"Felix went to the door and walked out into the night. Behind him, the biodiesel generator hummed and made its acrid fumes. The harvest moon was up, which he loved. Tomorrow, he¬πd go back and fix another computer and fight off entropy again. And why not?

It was what he did. He was a sysadmin."

Funny stuff.

Doctorow was the first author to speak in Second Life. I was the second.
