Peter Carey - Amnesia

The thirteenth work of fiction from the two-time Booker-Prize winner dramatizes both the long roots of history and the technological capabilities of the digital era. When the powerful Angel Virus sets scores of prisoners free in Australia and the U.S., the event revives unresolved issues from 1942’s Battle of Brisbane. Investigating both, a journalist gets involved with hackers, radicals, and, most important, the cryptic Gaby, who set the virus loose. (Knopf)
