Description

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
