- JulianMorrison 17y agoHave you read Halting State?
- sophacles 17y agoOhhh good book. Im a big fan of the notion of MMO as spygame -- it just makes so much sense. True plausible denyability ftw.

- brown9-2 17y agoFor those of us that have not... I'm guessing this post counts as a recommendation?
- JulianMorrison 17y agoYes indeed. Very good book. What's amusing is that it was intended to be set a decade or two in the future, but most of the "futuristic" plot twists have already happened.
- delackner 17y agoSeriously? I found Accelerando (same author) to be incredibly forced, written in the style of a Wired magazine puff piece.
- lincolnq 17y ago1) Charles Stross (cstross) reads and comments here on HN, so be nice :) 2) That was the whole point of Accelerando. That said, I really liked Halting State and Saturn's Children, but not Accelerando as much (it was too crazy for me).
- knv 17y agoHaven't read it but given the context of your question should be interesting. Thanks for the pointer.
- orangecat 17y agoIt hasn't been a huge secret that the Chinese government conducts all sorts of electronic espionage, both for economic and military information and to identify dissidents so they can imprison or shoot them. What's new here is that a powerful entity is finally willing to call them out in public, and it's about time.
