  • "De ontwerper van een immens populair computerspel moet actie ondernemen wanneer internationale criminelen ontdekken hoe ze het virtuele geld uit het spel kunnen omzetten in harde dollars."
  • "Es ist nur ein Spiel. Aber es geht um sehr viel Geld. Und für manche bald um ihr Leben. Richard Forthrast kann so leicht nichts erschüttern: Quasi aus dem Nichts hat er mit der Schöpfung des Computerspiels T'Rain ein millionenschweres internationales Unternehmen geschaffen. Doch er ahnt nicht, was für eine dramatische Kettenreaktion er in Gang setzt, als er seiner Nichte Zula einen Job bei T'Rain verschafft. Denn es ist Zulas Freund Peter, der durch einen fatalen Fehler den Rechner eines sehr gefährlichen Mannes mit einem neuartigen Computervirus infiziert. Der Geschädigte sinnt auf Rache - und binnen kurzem reisst dieses Missgeschick Zula und alles, was Richard wichtig ist, in einen tödlichen Strudel der Gewalt ... Neal Stephenson wurde 1959 in Fort Meade, Maryland, geboren. Seit seinem frühen Roman "Snow Crash" gilt der mehrfach ausgezeichnete Autor als eines der grössten Genies der amerikanischen Gegenwartsliteratur. "Cryptonomicon", seine Barock-Trilogie mit den Bänden "Quicksilver", "Confusion" und "Principia", sowie der Roman "Anathem" und sein jüngstes Werk, der Thriller "Error", stiessen weltweit auf euphorische Begeisterung und stürmten die Bestsellerlisten."
  • "In 1972, Richard Forthrast, the black sheep of an Iowa farming clan, fled to the mountains of British Columbia to avoid the draft. A skilled hunting guide, he eventually amassed a fortune by smuggling marijuana across the border between Canada and Idaho. Parlaying his wealth into an empire, Richard developed a remote resort in which he lives; he also created T'Rain, a multibillion-dollar, massively multiplayer online role-playing game with millions of fans around the world. But T'Rain's success has also made it a target. Hackers have struck gold, unleashing REAMDE, a virus that encrypts all of a player's electronic files and holds them for ransom. They have also unwittingly triggered a deadly war beyond the boundaries of the game's virtual universe - and Richard is at ground zero. Racing around the globe from the Pacific Northwest to China to the wilds of northern Idaho, Reamde traverses worlds virtual and real. Filled with unexpected twists and turns in which unforgettable villains and unlikely heroes face off in a battle for survival, it is a brilliant refraction of the twenty-first century, from the global war on terror to social media, computer hackers to mobsters, entrepreneurs to religious fundamentalists."
