The Shockwave Rider

by John Brunner

The Shockwave Rider by John Brunner was a finalist or poll selection for the 1976 Locus Award for Best Novel.

This 1975 book pretty much nailed the contradictions inherent in global networking, long before the network was created. It's full of wiretapping spooks, genius kids, networked churches, fake identities, network worms, encryption, nonprofits that outfox the spooks to help society, the works.
