Blurb: “ISLANDS IN THE NET

Laura Webster's on the fast track to success. A bright young star in a multinational conglomerate, she's living well in a post-millennial age of peace, prosperity, and profit.

In an age of advanced technology, information is the world's most. precious commodity. Information is power. Data is locked in computers and carefully rationed through a global communications network. Full access is a privilege held by few.

Now, Laura Webster is about to be plunged into a netherworld of black-market data pirates, new-age mercenaries, high-tech voodoo... and murder. - BRUCE STERLING

"In Islands in the Net, Bruce Sterling has written the high-tech Candide. Everything, including the 21st century kitchen sink, is here, and it all hangs together and the water runs and spring comes and the grass grows... Thave to admire anyone who can pull oft a juggling act like this." —Roger Lelazny, author of the Amber Series”
