Book description
Lured from his birthday celebrations by a Marilyn Monroe avatar, the US
president finds himself abducted into cyberspace by a mysterious
presence called 'The Voice'. With only twenty-four hours before it will
become impossible to return his consciousness to his body, the secret
services are thrown into panic. The one called in to solve the mystery
of his disappearance is Conor Smith, a disillusioned GameMaster, who
enlists the help of Andi and Tebor, two young people who are permanently
'missing in the Web'. Soon they are investigating every corner of the
overcrowded area of WebWorld known as the Brick. Meanwhile a couple of
mysterious murders escalates the tension, both in VR and Reality, and
paranoia reigns as the hero gradually tracks down the mysterious forces
that always seem a couple of steps ahead.
Eddy Shah, founder of the technologically advanced Today newspaper,
has always been fascinated by innovation and the possibilities of the
future, and here puts his thoughts in thrilling and thought-provoking
form.
