Watch the Japanese original from 2001, not the remake - it's amazing and it's about a "haunted Internet".

Alfred Bester wrote a wonderful short story, “5,271,009”, a.k.a. “The Starcomber”, in which he picks apart the most immature daydreams in fiction.

“The Starcomber” is available here - highly recommended (especially for fiction writers):

From "10 Warning Signs of a Psychopath" (www.newhealthadvisor.org/Signs-of-a-P...):

"In fact, psychopaths do not often get violent during fits of rage. Instead, they deploy violence in a very clinical and calculated manner, getting some form of release from torturing people and animals."
