🆕 blog! “I'm just so bored of AI”

I'm just so bored of talking about AI. It's like listening to vapers tell me how delicious their flavoured poison is.

Nerdsnipe time.

What was the first work of fiction to feature the World Wide Web?

I don't mean some 1950's sci-fi with pan-Earth info system. I mean a story with a character literally visiting "www. something" on a computer.

Any ideas?
