/usr/bin/god
Template:Future book /usr/bin/god was a planned hard science fiction novel by Cory Doctorow, originally intended to be published by Tor Books[1]. The story was to involve an out-of-control artificially intelligent spam filter[2], nerd culture[3], Extropian cultists, and "the end of the world"[4], and evolved in part from an expansion of one of the author's earlier stories, 0wnz0red.[3]
In a June 11, 2008 interview with The Onion's A.V. Club, Doctorow stated that the book was "on the shelf more or less permanently, although it might be resurrected at some point."[5]
