Protagonist Jerzy Rugby is trying to create truly intelligent robots. While his actual life crumbles, Rugby toils in his virtual office, testing the robots online. Then, something goes wrong and zillions of computer virus ants invade the net. Rugby is the man wanted for the crime. He's been set up to take a fall for a giant cyberconspiracy and he needs to figure out who--or what--is sabotaging the system in order to clear his name. Plunging deep into the virtual worlds of Antland of Fnoor to find some answers, Rugby confronts both electronic and all-too-real perils, facing death itself in a battle for his freedom. <I>The Hacker and the Ants</I> is funny, chilling, and surprisingly rich. 265731 1994 The Hacker and the Ants total:99|5:16|4:31|3:39|2:8|1:5| 99 342 153 7 4 0 false false Tue Oct 28 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri Sep 12 16:42:40 -0700 2008 Tue Oct 28 21:29:04 -0700 2008 Read it like PK Dick (which you are very much encouraged to...) realizing the plot and characters are only a ...more...]]> 3 0 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Tue Jan 27 21:56:03 -0800 2009 Tue Jan 27 21:56:03 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Sat Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2005 Tue Jun 03 17:09:09 -0700 2008 Tue Jun 03 17:10:12 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sun Jan 06 06:53:05 -0800 2008 Sun Jan 06 06:57:45 -0800 2008 3 0 false false Tue Jun 17 19:08:35 -0700 2008 Tue Jun 17 19:08:35 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Sun Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sat Apr 12 14:00:37 -0700 2008 Sat Apr 12 14:01:54 -0700 2008 4 0 true false Fri Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2005 Tue Aug 28 09:33:48 -0700 2007 Tue Aug 28 09:34:15 -0700 2007 0 0 false false Fri Nov 13 19:41:15 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 13 19:41:15 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Thu Nov 12 12:11:10 -0800 2009 Thu Nov 12 12:11:10 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Fri Nov 06 17:03:59 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 06 17:03:59 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Fri Oct 23 09:24:10 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 23 09:24:10 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Oct 13 00:23:46 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 13 00:23:54 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Oct 02 12:25:10 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 02 12:25:10 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Thu Oct 01 19:34:37 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 01 19:34:37 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Tue Aug 25 05:37:39 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 25 05:37:39 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1997 Mon Aug 24 14:40:40 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 24 14:40:40 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Tue Aug 04 17:17:43 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 04 17:17:43 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Tue Aug 04 07:12:06 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 04 07:12:06 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Tue Jul 28 11:03:46 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 28 11:03:46 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Mon Jul 27 22:52:42 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 27 22:52:56 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=274053
