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.

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.

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.

Awesome book, but man that’s a pretty major spoiler lol

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.
