Sinossi
Situata nel profondo del deserto del Sahara, New Cairo è una città costruita sulla tecnologia, dagli enormi pannelli solari vivificanti che la mantengono in funzione in un mondo radicalmente cambiato e povero di risorse agli impianti artificiali che sono diventati la risposta a tutti i problemi medici dell'umanità. Ma è anche una città divisa, dominata da una manciata di dinastie aziendali onnipotenti. E quando un nuovo e devastante virus informatico inizia a diffondersi nei quartieri più poveri, spegnendo gli impianti vivificanti che consentono a così tante persone di sopravvivere, la città inizia a scivolare nell'anarchia della violenta lotta di classe. Nascosta nel caos c'è Zala Ulora. Un'hacker dotata e fuggitiva dalla giustizia, crede di potersi guadagnare la vita rintracciando il virus alla sua fonte e distruggendolo prima che distrugga la città. O prima che la città distrugga se stessa. Con i suoi personaggi vividi, le idee audaci e l'azione esplosiva, The Hive è la fantascienza più emozionante, inventiva e accessibile.

Dalla quarta di copertina
Situated deep in the Sahara Desert, New Cairo is a city built on technology - from the huge, life-giving solar panels that keep it functioning in a radically changed, resource-scarce world to the artificial implants that have become the answer to all and any of mankind's medical problems.
But it is also a divided city, dominated by a handful of omnipotent corporate dynasties.
And when a devastating new computer virus begins to spread through the poorest districts, shutting down the life-giving implants that enable so many to survive, the city begins to slide into the anarchy of violent class struggle.
Hiding amidst the chaos is Zala Ulora. A gifted hacker and fugitive from justice, she believes she might be able to earn her life back by tracing the virus to its source and destroying it before it destroys the city. Or before the city destroys itself . . .
With its vivid characters, bold ideas and explosive action, The Hive is science fiction at its most exciting, inventive and accessible.
