Description:In 2060, the notorious hacktivist group, Rule-Set (The Set to Rule You All), threw the US presidential election by seizing control of NETS, (the National Election Tabulation System) and diverting three million votes from the winning candidate. In 2062, Rule-Set topped itself by rootkitting Colossus, the quantum computing backbone of gaming giant Qubig Corporation's first commercial immersive service. Via stored biometric inputs fed to wearable gossamers, immersive computing revolutionized society by enabling subscribers to experience all five senses when gaming and interacting online, both with each other and advanced AIs.Warned anonymously, the FBI discovered that 42 accounts, each running a software simulation, had been illicitly installed on a quantum computer powerful enough to store data equivalent to 48 times the number of atoms in the universe. The government impounded Colossus, set traps and waited for Rule-Set members to return to the scene of the crime and login. But no one did and no Rule-Set member was ever caught. For a quarter century, the 42 accounts have run with full access to the power of Colossus. Some sims are unchanged, some have died, and some have evolved.Now something wants out and will kill to escape.In 2087, Clarence Hamilcar, ex-Marine lieutenant, decorated veteran of The Koumintang War, associate professor of Asian literature studies, and failed tenure candidate at Black Hills University, South Dakota, is flown under contract by the U.S. Army to Waxahachie, Texas. His destination is the Hyperconducting Hyper Collider, the world’s most powerful particle accelerator, built on the remains of the Superconducting Super Collider, abandoned in 1993 after the US government spent $2B to excavate 14 miles of tunnels and 17 access shafts 200 feet below the north Texas plains. Clarence’s contract requires him to immerse and “liaise” with Hanabusa Narihisa, an AI extracted from one of the 42 simulations executing on Colossus. Narihisa's character is based on a Japanese manga and combines combines beauty with a bad temper and a very sharp katana. In the tunnels of the HHC 200 feet below Waxahachie, Clarence and Narihisa will engage in a battle of skill and wits whose prizes are the secrets of Colossus and Rule-Set.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
