The reference here is to Shockwave Rider, by John Brunner in 1975.

I did meet him once. He came by PARC to talk to John Shoch and John Hupp, who 
had written a network “worm” after Brunner’s naming. A very prescient author!

“The “worm” programs — early experience with a distributed computation”.  Shoch and Hupp https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/102616.102636
