A science-fiction cyber-thriller centering around -- and partially written on -- a Sharp Zaurus PDA running Linux is now available in paperback from Amazon.com. Digital Life, by Kevin Milne, aims to depict real-life hacking and digital insurgence more accurately than popular media. 
Digital Life is the sequel to Z4CK, Milne's first novel, in which intrepid hacker Duncan Steele roamed a brave new world, besting techno-proles and fighting to extricate himself from a bogus murder rap, his trusty Sharp Zaurus by his side. Milne initially wrote Z4CK to offer a more accurate portrayal of hackers than popular films such as 'The Net,' 'Hackers,' and 'Sword Fish,' he said. Following its 2004 release, Z4CK was compared to such classic hacking introductions as The Art of Intrusion, The Art of Deception, and How to Own a Continent, according to publisher Open-Solutions Consultancy.
As with Z4CK, much of Digital Life was written on a Linux-based Zaurus SL-5500 (pictured at right) during Milne's train-ride to his job as a network administrator. Open source network intrusion detection tools mentioned in the book include Nmap, Nessus, Hydra, Netcat, and John the Ripper.
