Descriere

In the year 2018, Sergeant Sue Smith of the Edinburgh constabulary is called in on a special case. The investigation seems pointless, but she soon realizes that the virtual world may have a devastating effect in the real one--and that someone is about to launch an attack upon both.

Recenzii

A great read, and a fascinating look at the future of security in a massively networked world.
The first couple of pages had me hooked, and I didn't touch another book until I finished it.
As keenly observant of our emergent society as it is our emergent technologies, Halting State is one extremely smart species of fun.
Charles Stross is the most spectacular science-fiction writer of recent years. In Halting State, he has written a near-future story that is at once over-the-top and compellingly believable.
