Description
This game was written by Steve Jackson as a satirical comment on the Secret Service raid and the hacker community. The hacker community liked it. There's been no visible reaction from the Feds.
It uses a variation of the Illuminati system; players lay out cards (representing systems) to create the Net, which is never the same twice. But instead of separate ``power structures'' for each player, there is only one Net, and players place tokens to indicate what systems they have invaded and how completely they control them.
