Timothy Mullen (Thor) has been educating and training users in the technology sector since 1983 when he began teaching BASIC and COBOL through a special program at the Medical University of South Carolina— while still a senior in high school. Launching his profes- sional career in application development and network integration in 1984, Mullen is now CIO and Chief Software Architect for AnchorIS.Com, a developer of secure enterprise-based accounting solutions. Mullen has developed and implemented Microsoft net- working and security solutions for institutions like the US Air Force, Microsoft, the US Federal Court systems, regional power generation facilities and interna- tional banking/financial institutions. He has developed a myriad of applications from military aircraft statistics interfaces and biological aqua-culture management to nuclear power-plant effects monitoring for private, government, and military entities.Timothy is currently being granted a patent for the unique architecture of his payroll processing engine used in the AnchorIS accounting solutions suite. Mullen has been a columnist for Security Focus’s Microsoft section, and is a reg- ular contributor of InFocus technical articles.AKA “Thor,” he is the founder of the “Hammer of God” security co-op group. Mullen’s writings appear in multiple publications such as Hacker’s Challenge and the Stealing the Network (Syngress ISBN 1-931836-87-6 and 1-931836-05-1) series, technical edits in Windows XP Security, with security tools and techniques features in publications such as the Hacking Exposed series and New Scientist magazine. Mullen is a member of American Mensa, and has recently been awarded the Microsoft “Most Valuable Professional” award in Windows Security. vii 325_STI_FM.qxd 7/5/05 8:39 PM Page viii Chapters 7, 10, and Epilogue. Johnny Long is a “clean-living” family guy who just so happens to like hacking stuff. Over the past two years, Johnny’s most visible focus has been on this Google hacking “thing” which has served as yet another diversion to a serious (and bill-paying) job as a professional hacker and security researcher for Computer Sciences Corporation.

The Army Research Office had issued broad agency solicitations for such a center in October 2001, and they enthusiastically selected MIT’s proposal from among several candidates, awarding them $50 million to kick start what became dubbed the MIT Institute for Soldier Nanotechnologies (ISN). MIT’s proposal out- lined areas of nanoscience, polymer chemistry, and molecular engineering that could provide fruitful military applications in the near term, as well as more speculative applications in the future. It also featured the striking image of a mechanically armored woman warrior, standing amidst the mon- uments of some futuristic cityscape, packing two enormous guns and other assault devices (Figure 1). This image proved appealing enough beyond the proposal to grace the ISN’s earliest websites, and it also accompanied several publicity announcements for the institute’s inauguration.

  • Matteo Bittanti
    Do Game Designers Dream of Electronic Sheep? Playing God in Videogames and Narrative Matteo Bittanti A man who wants the truth becomes a scientist; a man who wants to give free play to his subjectivity may become a writer; but what should a man do who wants something in between? (Robert Musil, The Man without Qualities) This essay is an exercise in pataphysics, the science of imaginary solutions. 1 The imaginary problem that prompted our quest for a false truth is: what is the relationship between narrative and videogames? More specifically, where does Will Wright, one of the most inventive game designers on the scene, find the ideas that eventually become stunningly original videogames? The imaginary solution that we suggest is: Philip Kindred Dick. In the following pages, we will argue that the non-narratives of such games as SimCity (1989), The Sims (2000), and the upcoming Spore can be traced back to Dick’s sci-fi stories. To call Will Wright a game designer is an understatement. Wright is one of the most important figures in gaming, technology, and entertainment today. Along with Peter Molyneux, Will Wright’s quasi-messianic prominence derives from his accomplishments in the god game genre—although he calls his creations “software toys.” A god game is a computer game that allows the player to create, manage, and control the lives of virtual people, cities or worlds. In these games, the winning/losing conditions are negotiable: the player is challenged to attain and maintain a level of success in a relatively open environment. Here, “The designer must play God, or at least the notion of God in Boethius’ Consolation of Philosophy—a god that can anticipate the outcome of the player’s actions and yet allows the player the feeling of free will,” as John Seabrook writes.
