Description
A masterful new novel from two-time Booker Prize winner Peter Carey explores the intersection of technology and power. When an internet virus is unleashed at thousands of American prisons, an unlikely young Australian woman emerges as its creator. As journalist Felix Moore becomes embroiled in her story, he must navigate a complex web of politics and identity. Felix's career is on the line as he attempts to write a biography that will vindicate the young woman. Funding from an old friend and a personal connection with her actress mother drive his quest. Through Felix's comic, cowardly, angry, yet fundamentally humane eyes, we see the world in all its complexity as he tries to save the young woman and redeem himself. As Felix delves deeper into the story, the lines between truth and deception blur, and the stakes grow higher. With its dark, suspenseful, and seriously funny tone, this novel is a gripping exploration of our digital age.
