MindWorm is a series that imagines our culture as a fictional OS. It imagines our mind as the hardware our culture runs on and imagines ideas as the software that runs throughout our culture. MindWorm is a self replicating virus that rewires the OS and renders it useless for anything but self replicating and controlling the host PC. Nobody knows exactly who made the MindWorm or what the end goal of it is. The only thing we know is that it seems to be trying to target the network itself. /// Isolating. The worm seemed to isolate the device. But it did it in a strange way. It still allowed the machine to connect to other known infected devices. In doing so it could control the communications between them. This "infection network" ran checks on other infected computers... ensuring that the worm remained uninterrupted, integrated, and cleanly installed.
