Posted by vanderleun at January 1, 2009 8:49 PMThis sounds a lot like "The Adolescence of P-1," a book I enjoyed growing up. A young hacker writes some code to break into computers, then forgets about it for a couple of years. The code continues evolving, becomes sentient and goes looking for its creator. A good read.
