When Sysadmins Ruled the Earth (2006)
Read this novelette
I'm not usually a fast reader or one who finds it impossible to put a book down, but every once in a while the right story makes me stay up an hour later than I should seeing what happens next. I read this a few months ago, but since it's up in its entirety and it's really great, I thought y'all should check it out on this fine Thanksgiving weekend. Cory Doctorow frequents the geek podcasts I put on in the mornings as background noise, and he also writes real good.
This one's about the apocalypse as seen from the inside of a data center (one of those huge facilities with thousands of computers in rows and columns where "the Internet" happens).
