Zaurus-centric cyberthriller ships in paperback
Nov 5, 2004 — by LinuxDevices Staff — from the LinuxDevices Archive — views
A novel both about — and written on — a Linux-based Sharp Zaurus has been released in paper form. Z4CK, by Scottish security professional Kevin Milne, is a cyberthriller set in 2031, whose protagonist uses a wireless-enabled Sharp Zaurus to defend himself from false murder accusations.
Unlike films like 'The Net', Z4CK gives a realistic insight into hacker tools and techniques, Milne says. The novel features wireless hacking with the Zaurus, and a view of how an Open Source future might look.
| Z4CK was first released online in August, and the work remains available in downloadable form. The first six chapters are free, with complete PDF and plucker versions available for $3.
The newly available dead-trees version is priced at 7.50 GBP, and can be ordered from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or direct from Milne's website using Paypal.
