Aqui se plantea un curioso experimento social cuando el mundo se derrumba -la civilizacion occidental, en realidad- y los administradores de sistemas, los informaticos que cuidan que internet no se cierre, siguen en la brecha para mantener la Red como ultimo reducto civilizado. Historia corta sobre un apocalipsis mundial tras el que solo quedan vivos (y conectados) unos pocos sysadmins a los que les pilla el fin del mundo en habitaciones ventiladas, subterráneas y con energía de repuesto. Me pareció muy entretenido. Mención especial a la jefa de sysadmins de Google, toda una estrella. The premise of this story - that only those guys (and the occasional girl) who work and live in the isolated underground server farms that make up our information networks survive the apocalypse - is a fun one. Doctorow plays with character clichés and stereotypes that are most effective when they're closest to the truth. Excellent fast read. This was a quick one night read. It is a short story originally located in the book [b:Overclocked: Stories of the Future Present|115969|Overclocked Stories of the Future Present|Cory Doctorow|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171719071s/115969.jpg|111691]. I read it as a separate story because it was sent to me by a friend. I really liked it. It is sometimes hard for authors to write shorter stories. There is a lot of information that needs to get across to the reader in a limited, short amount of time. The basic premise of this story is that one day a virus hits that kills off most of the people in the world. The only ones left(or so we think throughout) is separate groups of System Admins gathered around the world. I felt that the idea for the story was a good one and I really liked the characters. I listened to this out of curiosity when I saw someone in the tech community recommend it as supplemental reading for Ops people. The story didn't really speak to me all that much, with characters who were just a little too cartoony and arguments over conflicts I couldn't bring myself to care that much about. There isn't much action and the character scenes felt like they were done by the numbers, not truly felt. People complain about some of the plot points which seem farfetched , which I don't disagree with, though I think part of it is just the way he introduces them without suggesting that there might be a reasonable basis. I think it could have used an editorial shakedown to clean up these annoyances, and to boost up its strengths which I think come at the very end when the main character muses about what the point of civilization is. ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
