Have you ever wondered what it's like to live through a bioweapon attack or to have every aspect of your life governed by invisible ants?

"Anda's Game" is a spin on the bizarre new phenomenon of "cyber sweatshops," in which people are paid very low wages to play online games all day in order to generate in-game wealth, which can be converted into actual money. Another tale tells of the heroic exploits of "sysadmins"systems administratorsas they defend the cyberworld, and hence the world at large, from worms and bioweapons. And yes, there is a story about zombies too.
