The Japanese government signed a contract with a software development company to create a virus. This virus, instead of causing harm to computers, spreads and DE-infects computers that were previously infected with other viruses. Essentially this virus acts as a "white blood cell" of the internet, seeking out foreign infections and destroying them. Every day the internet grows and becomes more and more similar to a living thing. The amorphous cloud of servers and connections we know as the internet has "eyes" everywhere a camera connects. "ears" everywhere a microphone connects.
Hell this would make for a great sci-fi novel. The internet grows to big and so advanced that it becomes a conscious "living" thing. The government sends viruses to suppress it while activist groups spring up to protect it. Hackers turn psychologists and try to convince the internet to give away government secrets.
I would read that book.
