The Hacker in the Rain: A Study in Randomness

The Hacker in the Rain is a written embodiment of the hacker's craft. In fact, the entire book was written by a random number generator contained within a Perl script. It is endlessly useful when attempting to overcome writer's block, helpful as a means of breaking down mental barriers when problem solving, and an amusing conversation generator when in the doldrums of a pseudo-sophisticated dinner party.
