What do you get when people take online social networking to its logical extreme? Eastern Standard Tribe. In it, people organize by the circadian rhythm of their online groups, or tribes, like the group of the title, or Greenwich 0.
The book opens with the protagonist, Art Berry, being committed to a mental hospital as the result of an elaborate intrigue between time zone tribes - all over an idea he has about peer to peer file swapping between cars. From there we flash back to how he landed in this mess.
Its a great little book and a quick read.
