Comment on Code that will only execute once

This sort of reminded me of Phillip K. Dick's art book Agrippa [1], which was given a limited release on a floppy disk that would corrupt itself after its contents are displayed on a computer.

You mean William Gibson's. Note how despite the author's intentions (or perhaps because of them) "pirated text of the poem was released the next day on MindVox."

I was a bit obsessed with that poem (and the fact that it leaked!) in high school.

I still think it was well-done and love the theme of "the mechanism".
