Pax loves a good cyber thriller; see his shows on War Games, Hackers, and Sneakers. So Pax gets to add to that list in this episode with the 1995 thriller The Net starring a young Sandra Bullock.
In The Net, Sandra Bullock is an isolated IT consultant who winds up on the run for her life after discovering a conspiracy by Cathedral Software to sell companies faulty security software. It’s pretty fun and it features early instances of online shopping where Sandra Bullock orders takeout pizza via the website pizza.net.
