It was a Friday night, and I was spending another solitary eve ning doing research, working my way through every episode of Whiz Kids , an early-’80s TV show about a teenage hacker who uses his computer skills to solve mysteries. I’d just finished watching the episode "Deadly Access" (a crossover with Simon & Simon ) when an e-mail arrived in my inbox. It was from Ogden Morrow. The subject line read "We Can Dance If We Want To."
