I am new to this group but I would associate Eddie and "Crazy Eddie"
with "The Mote in God's Eye" -I forget the author's name- But to go
"Crazy Eddie" was to discard the accepted meme's and conventions of
society and do something out of racial character.  As I think more
about it, I think the Author was Niven/Pournell.  Seems to me those
who write viri are "Crazy Eddie"
