Cosmonaut Keep

Blurb

Cosmonaut Keep, a science fiction novel by Ken MacLeod. It is the first novel in the Engines of Light Trilogy, a 2001 nominee for the Arthur C. Clarke Award, and a 2002 Hugo Award Nominee for best novel.
In Cosmonaut Keep, MacLeod makes fleeting reference to a future programmers union called the "Information Workers of the World Wide Web", or the Webblies, a reference to the Industrial Workers of the World, who are nicknamed the Wobblies. The idea of the Webblies formed a central part of a later novel For the Win by Cory Doctorow, where it is given much greater prominence. MacLeod is acknowledged by Doctorow as coining the terms.
