I recently read a novel (<i>"The Rise and Fall of D. O. D. O."</i>) that features a paranoid operating system named Shiny Hat, as a supporting detail for the plot.<p>I can recommend the novel, BTW, if you are into science fiction and/or fantasy (I haven't made up my mind which it is).<p><a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rise_and_Fall_of_D.O.D.O" rel="nofollow">https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rise_and_Fall_of_D.O.D.O</a>.
