Scott Draves : electric sheep - a distributed screen saver
This software owes its name to Philip K. Dick's novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep. It realizes the collective dream of sleeping computers from all over the internet. When the screen saver is activated, the screen goes black and an animated 'sheep' appears. Behind the scenes, the screen saver contacts an internet server and joins the parallel computation of new sheep.
