Summary:
In 1972, Richard Forthrast, the dark sheep of the Iowa farming clan, fled to the mountains of Uk Columbia in order to avoid the draft. An experienced hunting information, he eventually amassed a lot of money by smuggling marijuana across the boundary between Canada and Idaho. As the years handed down, Richard went directly and returned towards the States following the U.S. government granted amnesty to draft dodgers. He parlayed his prosperity into an empire and created a remote holiday resort in which he lives. He also developed T’Rain, a about Reamde multibillion-dollar, massively multiplayer on the web role-playing game with millions of fans all over the world. But T’Rain’s achievement has also made it a target. Hackers have struck platinum by unleashing REAMDE, a virus that encrypts most of a player’s electronic files and holds them for ransom. They also have unwittingly brought about a deadly battle beyond the boundaries of the game’s virtual universe – and Richard reaches ground zero. Race around the world from the Pacific Northwest to China to the wilds of north Idaho and points in between, Reamde is normally a swift-paced thriller that traverses worlds virtual and real. Filled up with unexpected twists and becomes in which memorable villains and improbable heroes encounter off inside a battle for survival, it really is a brilliant refraction from the twenty-first century, through the global war on terror to social media marketing, computer hackers to mobsters, entrepreneurs to religious fundamentalists. Most importantly, Reamde is an enthralling human being tale – an interesting and epic page-turner from the amazing Neal Stephenson.
