  OMG it’s wild that you would say that because I’m actually reading (listening to really) Snow Crash by Neil Stephenson as I’m making this! If you’ve never read it a pretty big plot point is a Brown Note image that looks like noise but that will scramble people’s brains if they have enough of an affinity for computer languages.

      I feel like it was in the first 3rd or so? To me that counts more as setup than anything else.

        Maybe… It’s been a long time since I read.

    There was a short story I read a while back that also featured that plot point, but I don’t remember what it was called.

    Only that I found it after reading into inspirations for The Laundry Files by Charles Stross.

    Is it anything like Anathem (if you’ve read it)? I loved Anathem, but his other books looked very different.

      Nope! My partner just happened to read it lately and recommended it.
