Description
When a devastating computer virus called REAMDE is unleashed on T'Rain, a massively multiplayer online game worth billions, its creator Richard Forthrast finds himself caught in a deadly real-world conflict that mirrors the virtual warfare. A former draft dodger turned tech entrepreneur and resort owner, Forthrast must navigate a globe-spanning thriller that blurs the boundaries between digital and physical reality, from the Pacific Northwest to China and beyond. As hackers, mobsters, terrorists, and unlikely heroes collide in a high-stakes battle for survival, Stephenson weaves together themes of technology, greed, and human resilience into a propulsive narrative that captures the complexity of the twenty-first century. With unexpected twists and unforgettable characters, this action-packed adventure explores how the virtual and real worlds have become dangerously intertwined. A masterful page-turner from the author of Snow Crash and Cryptonomicon, Reamde is both an entertaining thriller and a brilliant meditation on modern life.
