Neal Stephenson's staggering techno-thriller, now in paperback. In 1972, Richard Forthrast fled the Iowa farm for the mountains of British Columbia to avoid the draft, and amassed a fortune smuggling marijuana across the Canadian border. Parlaying his wealth into an empire, Richard created T'Rain, a multibillion-dollar, massive multiplayer online role-playing game with millions of fans around the world.
But T'Rain's success has also made it a target: hackers unleash the virus REAMDE, unwittingly triggering a deadly war beyond the boundaries of the game's virtual universe - and Richard is at ground zero.<BR>
