This 1975 book pretty much nailed the contradictions inherent in global networking, long before the network was created. It's full of wiretapping spooks, genius kids, networked churches, fake identities, network worms, encryption, nonprofits that outfox the spooks to help society, the works.

Ethan Frome Fortune had been on Tran-ky-ky long enough... too long, in fact. He wanted out. He wanted to get back to business. He wanted to go home. So he and his sidekick Skua September headed their giant Icerigger toward Brass Monkey, the busy off-world trading post where they were sure they could book passage home. But when they discovered that their Tran friends were being victimized by ruthless profiteers, they decided to stick around and organize the isolated city-states into a functioning confederation... a governing body that the Commonwealth Council would have to recognize and protect. The Tran had enemies - deadly ones, at that - and Skua September and Ethan Fortune quickly found themselves back aboard the icerigger Slanderscree, leaving a crimson wake on the frozen seas and hurtling toward the most chilling encounters either had ever known!

22 original stories in homage to Ray Bradbury, along with a cloying introduction by co-editor Nolan, a brief appreciation of Bradbury by Isaac Asimov, and a story and a memoir by Bradbury himself. Many of these tales are direct sequels to or spin-offs from such Bradbury classics as Dandelion Wine and Something Wicked This Way Comes.
