From the Publisher:
"The most spectacular science fiction writer of recent years" (Vernor Vinge, author of Rainbows End) presents a near-future thriller. || Detective Inspector Liz Kavanaugh is head of the Rule 34 Squad, monitoring the Internet to determine whether people are engaging in harmless fantasies or illegal activities. Three ex-con spammers have been murdered, and Liz must uncover the link between them before these homicides go viral. |
Annotation:
Rule 34, a truism of the online age goes something like this: "If it exists on the Internet, there is porn of it." Charles Stross offers an original novel about cybercrime set in the not-so-distant future of 2030 with his novel named for this rule. Edinburgh police officer Liz Kavanaugh has been assigned to Rule 34 patrol: she trolls the Internet looking for illegal manifestations of people's deepest desires. When a murder gets committed, Liz and her colleagues find themselves in the midst of an unbelievable investigation. Stross uses his futuristic set-up to critique contemporary society, while telling a gripping mystery story from multiple characters' perspectives. RULE 34 is the second book in Stross's loose series that began with HALTING STATE.
