PARADOX, NEXT STOP AFTER THE BOONDOCKS / "It's not because my mind is made up that I don't want you to confuse me with any more facts. / "It's because my mind isn't made up. I already have more facts than I can cope with. / "So SHUT UP, do you hear me? SHUT UP!" —John Brunner, "The Shockwave Rider"

The Shockwave Rider is a science fiction novel by John Brunner, originally published in 1975. It is notable for its hero's use of computer hacking skills to escape pursuit in a dystopian future, and for the coining of the word "worm" to describe a program that propagates itself through a computer network.
