Blurb: “In his critically acclaimed Snow Crash and The Diamond Age, Neal Stephenson created wild visions of the distant future. But in Zodiac, he takes us to his strangest landscape yet— right here, right now....

Two centuries after the Boston Tea Party, harbor dumping is still a favorite local sport, only this time it's major corporations piping toxic wastes into the water. Environmentalist and professional pain in the ass Sangamon Taylor is Boston's modern-day Paul Revere, spreading the word from a 40-horsepower Zodiac raft.

Embarrassing powerful corporations in highly telegenic ways is the perfect method of making enemies, and Taylor has a collection that would do any rabble-rouser proud.

After his latest exploit, he's wanted by the FBI, possibly by the Mafia, and definitely by a group of Satanist angel-dust heads who think he's looking for a PCP factory, not PCB contamination. Pretty soon dodging bullets is the least of Taylor's problems— because somewhere out there are an unhinged genetic engineer and a lab-concocted bacterium that could destroy all ocean life... and that's just for appetizers.

Frightening, funny, fast, and furious, Zodiac is thrilling speculative fiction torn straight from today's headlines.”
