The Shockwave Rider
''The Shockwave Rider'' is a science fiction novel by John Brunner, originally published in 1975. It is notable for its hero's use of computer hacking skills to escape pursuit in a dystopian future, and for the coining of the word "worm" to describe a program that propagates itself through a computer network.〔("The Evolution of Cyberpunk" ), Nick Ravo and Eric Nash, ''New York Times'', 8 August 1993. Retrieved 9 September 2013.〕 It also introduces the concept of a ''Delphi pool'',〔("Delphi Pool" ), Technovelgy.com. Retrieved 9 September 2013.〕 perhaps derived from the RAND Corporation's Delphi method – a futures market on world events which bears close resemblance to DARPA's controversial and cancelled Policy Analysis Market.
==Origin of the title==
The title derives from the futurist work ''Future Shock'' by Alvin Toffler. The hero is a survivor in a hypothetical world of quickly changing identities, fashions and lifestyles, where individuals are still controlled and oppressed by a powerful and secretive state apparatus. His highly developed computer skills enable him to use any public telephone to punch in a new identity, thus reinventing himself, within hours. As a fugitive, he must do this from time to time to escape capture. The title is also a metaphor for survival in an uncertain world.
