My fifth submission to DYOS XII. [link]

I can't remember where the idea for this came from, but I do know I was a little miffed that for a story all about digital surveillance, we've seen about as much actual hacking as DYOS XI. Plus, having worked in DOS since my first computer, I thought I'd show off my command-line skillz. =P

'doctorow' is a reference to the author Cory Doctorow. ASCII Liam Neeson adapted from this portrait by ThreshTheSky.

I used to do that on the computers at my school and go "look we're in the Matrix".

ASCII art is seriously underrated and we need Side 7 to have that category added :)

@ragukokarn: Category revamps have been on The List for a while and though I can't make any promises on the timeline, they may be due sooner than expected... Llama Emoji-48 (I'm Cool with Mah Sunglasses) [V2] Partly it depends on whether the back-end will be reorganized to allow nesting subcategories, lest the flat list become overwhelming. The question is, is ASCII an image or text? :B

(I miss ThreshTheSky. About half his gallery got pre-emptively wiped due to copyright trolls on fanart, but I've failed to sway him here. :c )
