A cyberpunk story originally published in 1987! Kind of interesting to see that era’s depictions of cybersecurity and AI.

tbh the story’s not that great, I just wanted to post it to !cyberpunk@lemmy.zip and figured I’d post it here first and then crosspost, to advertise this community. (I don’t think it worked, though, I only got one upvote and one downvote there. out of 512 subscribers!) But the story’s kinda interesting as an early depiction of hackers in the cyberpunk subgenre.
