Book Description
======
This brilliantly conceived techno-crime thriller spreads a black humor
frosting over the grim prospect of the year 2012, when China, India
and the European System are struggling for world economic domination
in an infowar, and the U.S. faces bankruptcy over its failing infrastructure.
Sgt. Sue Smith of Edinburgh’s finest, London insurance accountant Elaine
Barnaby and hapless secret-ridden programmer Jack Reed peel back layer
after layer of a scheme to siphon vast assets from Hayek Associates,
a firm whose tentacles spread into international economies. The theft
is routed through Avalon Four, a virtual reality world complete with
supposedly robbery-proof banks. As an electronic intelligence agency
trains innocent gamers to do its dirty work, Elaine sets Jack to catch
the poacher. Hugo-winner Stross (Glasshouse) creates a deeply immersive
story, writing all three perspectives in the authoritative second-person
style of video game instructions and gleefully spiking the intrigue
with virtual Orcs, dragons and swordplay. The effortless transformation
of today’s technological frustrations into tomorrow’s nightmare realities
is all too real for comfort.
