Excellent! A cyberpunk story based on current, real technology. I love this, and especially because I often look at how people aer living today and think, "We're living in Gibson's world."

Yeah, I'd be lying if I said there wasn't an influence there. I didn't really set out to make a cyberpunk story. I was just intrigued by the recent hacktivism movements and wanted to write something about it. Molly Millions is a personal fave character and I rank Neuromancer and The Diamond Age as two of my favorite books of all time, so I suppose cyberpunk was as good as anything. Thanks for reading.
