The Cassini Division

by Ken MacLeod

This is from memory, as I haven’t got a copy to hand, and I read it about 25 years ago, so someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I think a plot point was that the protagonists never turned on their comms systems because some kind of malicious transhuman/AI entity was continually broadcasting malware on all frequencies, and they would surely be hacked/manipulated if they opened any channel, and then they did open a channel, and they were immediately hacked.

I never expected *that* to be the part that came true first.
