I just reread Clarke's Songs of Distant Earth.
Mentioned in it is "ShipNet" -- an anonymous NetNews onboard that
discusses a possible mutiny.
One wonders if ACC was reading Usenet from Sri Lanka when he wrote this
in 1986. I've since heard that he had a private Internet feed that
existed years before the rest of the country's. Wonder if it's true ;-|
