Description
The Quantum Thief by Hannu Rajaniemi is a dazzling hard SF novel set in a far future solar system. In this gripping heist story, a post-human criminal with extraordinary abilities must pull off an impossible theft to prove his innocence. Jean le Flambeur's exploits are legendary throughout the Heterarchy, but one mistake has landed him in a virtual prison, where he must play endless variations of a game-theoretic riddle against countless copies of himself. His chance at freedom comes when Mieli and her spidership, Perhonen, offer him a chance to win back his powers - if he can complete the one heist he never quite managed. With its stunning debut, this novel has captivated readers with its unique blend of human motives and post-human abilities, set against a backdrop of virtual reality and interplanetary intrigue.
