Description
In a near-future Edinburgh where augmented reality and online worlds are woven into everyday life, Sergeant Sue Smith is assigned to investigate an audacious robbery at a newly listed technology company. As the case expands beyond a seemingly impossible virtual crime, financial analyst Elaine Barnaby and game designer Jack Reed uncover clues from very different sides of the digital economy. Their investigation draws them into a volatile convergence of corporate ambition, cyberwarfare, artificial intelligence, and global politics. Told through multiple perspectives in Charles Stross’s sharp, inventive style, the novel is a fast-paced examination of how technology can transform crime—and society itself.
