Tentang eBook ini
The second volume in the trilogy—“a complex, bizarre, and unique vision of the near future with a kaleidoscopic mix of politics, pop, and paranoia” (Bruce Sterling, author of The Hacker Crackdown).
World War Three continues. A nuclear strike has laid waste to much of Europe. And the fascists and fundamentalists of the Second Alliance are diligently working on Project Total Eclipse—a nightmare scenario that seeks to establish the SA’s control over a much wider territory through a takeover of the first orbiting space colony in human history.
And they are running out of patience with the New Resistance—technologically skilled guerillas who are the only ones standing in the way of their grand plans for apartheid and world domination . . .
This extraordinary trilogy, which anticipated such phenomena as surveillance drones and the rising threat of right-wing authoritarianism, is a riveting saga of out-of-control corporate power, a near-future world riven by rage and fear, and the need for individuals to stand up and fight back if they want to hold on to their freedom.
“Vivid, dense, powerful imagery . . . hard to put down.” —The Washington Post
