It depends upon when it was first published: I
believe the date for ``The
Shockwave Rider'' is 1975. Another book, ``The Adolensence of P1'' may
have
been eariler (I want to say 1972, but it may be as late as '74 or '75).
``P1'' was about a self-aware computer program that spread throughout IBM
mainframes and while it didn't use the term ``worm'' it's propagation is
that of a worm.
_Adolesence of P1_ was mid-70s. I just got another copy at a thrift
store. Is it any good?
