Story line

EliyAmma-1.21 was written by Pappachchan in mal programming language. It is a very intelligent program. It knows how to learn new learning methods. EliyAmma somehow gets cybernet access. It has evil intentions. It starts posting in s.c.i and a.c.k . Nobody knows that it is a mal_program. Everybody (except Pappachchan) thinks that it is another mallu student. Once EliyAmma posts in a.c.k a recipe for aviyal, which contains micro-instructions for a powerful laxative. On another occasion it achieves multiple cybernet identities and confuse the hell out of every body by assuming different personalities. For example there would be different EliyAmmas from different locations arguing about malayALikaLkku buddhiyO SakthiyO kUduthal?' with different perspectives. It also starts some cybernet romances taking advantage of its female name.

The later part of the novel deals with how pAppacchan the creator of EliyAmma effectively tames it. pAppachchan contacts an old friend, kuttappan who is a software pirate. Together they develop a powerful debugger and attack the running EliyAmma. In the final battle scene, pAppacchan kicks EliyAmma in its kernel, and she, I mean 'it', aborts prematurely:-(.

I liked the book.:-)

Note Please don't flood me with email asking for the details of this book. This book deals with a futuristic theme and hence it is futuristic. mathlab-it is yet to be conceived, written and published. paranthU, I happened to read this book, just because, I have the bad habit of going into future occasionally.
