A really really really NERD novel by Cory Doctorow in which a bunch of sysadmins strive to keep the good ol' Net online after a catastrophic event that brought the entire world to its knees, while fighting with scarce power and food supplies, and communicating over the Usenet... the "good old alt. hierarchy".

Vote: 10+ for the geekiest thing I've ever read, it's really worth the hour needed to read it fully. Enjoy it.

The Infamous Hello World Program.

Romeo, a young man with a remarkable patience.

Juliet, a likewise young woman of remarkable grace.

Ophelia, a remarkable woman much in dispute with Hamlet.

Hamlet, the flatterer of Andersen Insulting A/S.

                    Act I: Hamlet's insults and flattery.

                    Scene I: The insulting of Romeo.
