If you like video games at all, read this.

Or read it anyway because it's an interesting story, if you get to the end. Wow.

That's one thing I like about Uplink (http://www.uplink.co.uk/). While you can save your progress so you can take a break and come back to pick up where you left off, if you botch things up your saved game is nuked so you have no option but to start again from scratch. Harsh? Sure. But it certainly makes the game more of a challenge. Top marks to the designers for doing it.
