Description
From the extraordinary Neal Stephenson comes an epic adventure that spans entire worlds, both real and virtual.
The black sheep of an Iowa farming clan, former draft dodger and successful marijuana smuggler Richard Forthrast amassed a small fortune over the yearsโand then increased it a thousandfold when he created T'Rain. A massive, multibillion-dollar, multiplayer online role-playing game, T'Rain now has millions of obsessed fans from the U.S. to China. But a small group of ingenious Asian hackers has just unleashed Reamdeโa virus that encrypts all of a player's electronic files and holds them for ransomโwhich has unwittingly triggered a war that's creating chaos not only in the virtual universe but in the real one as well. Its repercussions will be felt all around the globeโsetting in motion a devastating series of events involving Russian mobsters, computer geeks, secret agents, and Islamic terroristsโwith Forthrast standing at ground zero and his loved ones caught in the crossfire.
