I originally read Lisa Mason's short story in Omni magazine that was the predecessor to this novel. A surprising number of "Cyberpunk" authors got published through Omni...
It's a truely intriguing novel and not a typical Cyberpunk work either, taking the viewpoint of Law in cyberspace. Highly recommended!

Originally published in 1990, this is among the vanguard of the "cyberpunk" novels, hailed by The Boston Globe as a "cyberpunk classic." Carly Nolan, a fast-track young lawyer conducting trials at lightning speed in telespace, is suddenly plagued by terrifying "bug" in her telelink. In her search for a cure, she becomes the protege of a corrupt older attorney whose own career is spiraling out of control and the patient of Pr. Spinner, a robot therapist who covets the metaprogram of life. Fast and fun, ARACHNE explores what it means to be a sentient lifeform.
