Web of Angels - John M. Ford

Descriere Web of Angels - John M. Ford

\nFrom the brilliant author of The Dragon Waiting and Growing Up Weightless, a novel that saw the cyberpunk future with stunning clarity, years before anyone else. \n \nOriginally published in 1980, the legendary John M. Ford's first published novel was an uncannily brilliant anticipation of the later cyberpunk genre--and of the internet itself. \n \nThe Web links the many worlds of humanity. Most people can only use it to communicate. Some can retrieve and store data, as well as use simple precoded programs. Only a privileged few are able to create their own software, within proscribed limits. \n \nAnd then there are the Webspinners. \n \nGrailer is Fourth Literate, able to manipulate the Web at will--and use it for purposes unintended and impossible for anyone but the most talented Webspinner. Obviously, he cannot be allowed to live. \n \nCondemned to death at the age of nine, Grailer must go underground, hiding his skills, testing his powers- until he is ready to do battle with the Web itself. \n \nWith a new introduction from Cory Doctorow, written especially for this edition.\n
