Synopsis
This cyberpunk adventure from Philip K. Dick award-winner, Rudy Rucker, reads like a ripped-from-Reddit romp of white hat hacking, artificial intelligence. run amok, and an unstoppable electronic 'bugs.' From a two-time winner of the Philip K. Dick award, and one of the founding fathers of cyberpunk comes a novel about a very modern nightmare: the most destructive computer virus ever has been traced to your machine. Computer programmer Jerzy Rugby spends his days blissfully hacking away in cyberspace - aiding the GoMotion Corporation in its noble quest to create intelligent robots. Then an electronic ant gets into the machinery ... then more ants .... then millions and millions of the nasty viral pests appear out of nowhere to wreak havoc throughout the Net. And suddenly Jerzy Rugby is Public Enemy Number One, wanted for sabotage, computer crime, and treason - a patsy who must now get to the bottom of the virtual insectile plague. "Rudy Rucker warms the cockles of my heart ... I think of him as the Scarlet Pimpernel of science fiction." - Philip Jose Farmer, From a two-time winner of the Philip K. Dick award, and one of the founding fathers of cyberpunk comes a novel about a very modern nightmare: the most destructive computer virus ever has been traced to your machine. Computer programmer Jerzy Rugby spends his days blissfully hacking away in cyberspace , aiding the GoMotion Corporation in its noble quest to create intelligent robots. Then an electronic ant gets into the machinery ... then more ants .... then millions and millions of the nasty viral pests appear out of nowhere to wreak havoc throughout the Net. And suddenly Jerzy Rugby is Public Enemy Number One, wanted for sabotage, computer crime, and treason , a patsy who must now get to the bottom of the virtual insectile plague. "Rudy Rucker warms the cockles of my heart ... I think of him as the Scarlet Pimpernel of science fiction." , Philip Jose Farmer, Jerzy Rugby is alone in the real world, recently separated from his wife and kids, but thankfully he still has his job as a computer programmer -- blissfully hacking away in the cyberworld, aiding the GoMotion Corporation in its noble quest to create intelligent robots. Then one day an ant gets into his computer, then into Studly, his personal robot ... then millions and millions of the nasty viral pests invade satellite television, infecting television broadcasts with digitized ants. Authorities trace the virus back to its source, finding a dead dog, a cut cable, and a bloody robot stuffed into the trunk of Jerzy's car. Is Jerzy Rugby the callous virtual criminal the media brands him, or is he just a set-up patsy for a larger conspiracy? Jerzy must now get to the bottom of the insectile plague before the insanity of his virtual nightmare becomes reality. Book jacket.
