Bruce Sterling's new novel, The Zenith Angle, is out now. To give you an idea of how much I liked this book — a technothriller about post-9/11 hacker-entrepreneurs, and the military-industrial complex — here's the blurb I wrote:
Sterling has his fingers on about a hundred different pulses in this
book, which vibrates with fantastic in-jokes and insights from
Bollywood to dot-bomb, from mil-spec gear-pigs to earnest cybercops.
The story rockets along like a hijacked airliner heading straight at
you, like a flash-worm compromising every unpatched Windows box on the
net at once. I read it in one sitting, and I'll read it again before
the month is out. Lots of books are called "thrillers" but very few are
this thrilling.
Bruce is going on a ten-city US book tour — check here for dates!
