Steven Den Beste: “Citydesk cannot be beaten.” [Well, not without knowing the cheat codes.]

Ellen Ullman’s new book The Bug is a terrific novel about a programmer coming unravelled because of a killer bug nicknamed The Jester which seems to only appear at the worst possible times. Highly recommended. (There’s a bug in the book, too, probably left in as a reward for real programmers. I don’t want to spoil it for you so I’ll describe it in an HTML comment right here.)
