First novel. The UK edition has the subline: 'The laptop novel with seedy-romp drive'.
"Jack Burroughs is a man more accustomed to saving documents than saving his skin. The Information Superhighway may be a busy place, but, as any Junior Assistant Software Engineer for Monolithic Diversified Enterprises (Building 305) will tell you, it's not easy getting out of the bicycle lane. For Jack Burroughs, however, things are about to change.
"Before you can say 'relational database', Jack finds himself caught in a tangled cyberweb of corporate double-dealing and virtual espionage. And when he's forced to put his life on-line, it soon becomes apparent that his grip on (virtual) reality is by no means secure.
"Don't get caught with your systems down." [jacket blurb, UK pbk, 1995]
"Wildly, innovatively and refreshingly funny... The best thing in the genre to come out of America since Practical Demonkeeping ." --Tom Holt.
