Eliza McKay is a coder who has run afoul of the law and has had some of her privileges revoked. But she can still work as an Extractionist, a specialist who pulls people out of the net - the Swim - if they get stuck there. The technology of immersion is a bit unclear but it seems as if you jump into the Swim as an electronic copy of yourself, and when you are ready, you jump back out into your body. Except sometimes you don't. Mental trauma in the Swim means you don't fit back into your old mind and you get stuck. Extractionist pull you out. The easiest way is to prune off all of the new stuff ie memories and cram you back into your mind. McKay is a very high level Extractionist who is called in on very special cases like this one to pull a client out but include the new memories and gently slot the altered mind back into the body. This would not be so hard if there weren't some very sharp people who are interfering. The central questions are who is interfering, why, and what they want. The book is fast moving and throws a lot of tech ideas at us that it's easier to just accept rather than try to figure out how things work. Like coding on the fly. If you read urban fantasy you accept spellcasting on the fly so why not go with this. I think there are too many characters and too much going on, but I figure this is world building for the series. I received a review copy of "The Extractionist" by Kimberly Unger from Tachyon Press through NetGalley.com. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Underground hacker Eliza McKay is one of the best in the virtual space where people create personas that can interact as data. When rich or important people get stuck in the Swim--for reasons that are sleazy, illegal, or merely unlucky--it's McKay's job to extract them. And McKay's job just got a lot more dangerous. While on an assignment in Singapore, McKay is flagged by an investigative outfit led by Ellie Brighton. Brighton desperately needs her corporate superior extracted from the Swim. The brute-force hacking tactics of Brighton's tech Rose have already failed. The executive's personality remains trapped and fragmented; if left for much longer, he won't survive. But the job is turning out to be more dangerous than McKay initially thought: her house is broken into, her target is surprisingly reluctant to be extracted, and something is menacing her informational AI sprite, Spike. Something big. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
