Edward M. Lerner is pleased to announce the release of his near-future cyber-thriller, Fools’ Experiments. Something far nastier than any virus, worm, or Trojan horse program is being evolved in laboratory confinement by well-intentioned but misguided researchers. When their artificial life-form escapes onto the Internet, no conventional defense against malicious software can begin to compete. As disasters multiply, computer scientist Doug Carey knows that unconventional measures may be civilization’s last hope … and that any artificial life-form learns very fast. “Lerner puts his expertise in computer science … to good use in this exciting and unsettling near-future thriller. It’s an ambitious idea for a novel, and Lerner carries it off in style.” - Booklist “A spooky cautionary tale that is part hard-wired sf and part intrigue and suspense. A good choice for readers who prefer their sf with a heavy dose of hard science along with fast-paced storytelling.” - Library Journal “Convincingly shows the development of the electronic consciousness and its groping interaction with humanity … good science and entertaining writing make this a fast, entertaining read.” — Publishers Weekly “Viruses and worms have come to be an important ‘feature’ of our network landscape. And yet this is just the beginning. In FOOLS’ EXPERIMENTS, Edward M. Lerner gives us a fascinating view on how awesome these threats could soon become.” — Vernor Vinge Author of Rainbow’s End |
