The Volition Bug was launched anonymously from a site somewhere in a Central Asian republic. It propagated wirelessly among all the WiFi-communicating chipped objects, installing new directives in their tiny brains, directives that ran covertly in parallel with their normal factory-specified functions. Infected objects now sought to link their processing power with their nearest peers, often achieving surprising levels of Turingosity, and then to embark on a kind of independent communal life.

    So I post this, and within a couple of hours I see this on boingboing:

    SF writer Paul DiFilippo has a wonderful story on SciFi.com called And the Dish Ran Away With the Spoon that’s funny, dirty, and technologically prescient.

    So a two-year-old story suddenly becomes “hot”? Interesting.
