有一本叫《吞噬真菌：电脑时代的奇闻轶事》（The Devouring Fungus: Tales of the Computer Age）[1]的书里就讲了这么一个故事，是那本书吗？显然这种故事有一大堆[2] [3]，其中很多大概都是都市传说。不过去年就发生过一起……
There's a book called The Devouring Fungus: Tales of the Computer Age [1] that features a story like this, was that the book? Apparently there are tons of these stories [2] [3], many of them probably urban legends. But there was one last year…
