2. Resurrecting the Killfile
By Oliver Day
In William Gibson's Idoru, one of the book's hackers describes a community of people who all share a file of unwanted things to create the walled city of Hak Nam. "They made something like a killfile of everything, everything they didn't like, and they turned that inside out," he wrote.
