For pure fiction in the fantasy/science fiction realm:
"The Software System That We Delivered On Time, Under Budget, With Complete,
Well Written, Comprehensive Documentation: Version 1.0"
Some purists say that this story is too fantastic to be considered "science
fiction," and label it "pure fantasy." Others claim that since it chronicles
the software industry, the "science" tag is misplaced.
"Science is to Computer Science as Hydrodynamics is to Plumbing."
