"The Lambda Rebellion," a techno-philosophical thriller by Ken Hamer-Hodges, FIEE. The narrative explores a near-future world devastated by cybercrime stemming from the default vulnerabilities of the outdated von Neumann computer architecture. The story centres on Jim Hamer's fight for digital democracy and decentralised freedom using a new technique called CLOOMC, smart machine code based on Lambda Calculus and the Church-Turing Thesis, the science of computer science. CLOOMC works to remove authoritarian controls championed by central operating systems and rogue AI known as the Spirit. Ultimately, CLOOMC describes an earnest and hopeful narrative that emphasises the urgent need for a scientific redesign of cyberspace to secure humanity's future in democratic, independent forms of national civilisations.
