''Anda's Game
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 administrators - as they
defend the cyberworld, and hence the world at large, from worms and
bioweapons. And yes, there is a story about zombies too.
