the bug by ellen ullman came to my attention via salon’s best fiction of 2003, and it is truly a fantastic book. it manages to be centered around a very technical core without failing to provide a compelling story or strong characters. if you’ve ever programmed, or worked with programmers, you should absolutely check out the book. heck, even if you don’t meet either of those criteria, you should do so.
