How about a story about a future where a retired cowboy/programmer
is coaxed out of retirement to write a Java program that helps
scientists find a solution to combat a new rampant virus that
is turning the world's population into zombies.

The person who hires the cowboy could be the grown up girl from Jurasic
Park that exclaimed, "This is UNIX, I know this!".

Yes, almost all of Goethe and Shakespeare is currently unwritten (but
not unread)
in Java.
Don't forget Dostojewski! (And Stendhal)

Should be enough for a couple of books.
