Society of the Mind, by Eric L. HarryHaper PaperBacks, May 1997.
I plodded through its "cyber thriller" text with a Bill Gates-type character
and his sort-of MicroSoft corporation and an intelligent central computer...
Spoiler Warning...
Finally, in the last few pages, we find that the virus that is infecting the
big computer is a meme of the quest for knowledge, or intelligence, or
something.
Has anyone else read this one?
