The internet has become the opiate of the masses, and technology, once the liberator of humanity, now threatens to enslave it. Only a few amoral renegades, the Blanks, manage to duck the system and play it for all they can get. Robert and Carol are two seasoned hackers, determined to get revenge on a society that has left them out in the cold. When they penetrate a high-security system, however, they find themselves the targets of a ruthless extra governmental organization named the SIA, which will stop at nothing to protect the interests of the powers that be. In the race to elude his hunters, Robert barters for what he believes to be the latest piece of technological wizardry, only to become embroiled in an even greater conflict that straddles not only the digital and physical worlds but also the past, present and future. Boldly imagined and thrillingly written 'The Lazarus Principle' takes us on a roller-coaster ride through a dystopian world whose frailties and anxieties disturbingly echo our own. Scarce signed.
