Description
Set against the backdrop of a globalization crisis in near future Bolivia, it is complete with a corrupt government, a greedy multinational corporation, a secret code-breaking organization called the Black Chamber, and a group of young computer hackers who are staging a revolution, which, despite being electronic, is far from bloodless. The thriller's web of murder, intrigue, and deception is centered around Miguel "Turing" Saenz, Black Chamber's veteran cryptanalyst. Known for his code-breaking achievements, Turing is involved with the government's pursuit of Kandinsky, the elusive young "cyberhacktivist" leader who raids the virtual reality world for anti-globalization recruits. When Turing's teenage daughter is drawn into the chase, Turing begins to suspect that his work is not as innocent as he had once supposed.
