Solid State

Beschreibung

In the year 2032, humanity has achieved a nearly perfect digitally based society, except in the eyes of Aegis, a terrorist group bent on "freeing" humanity from the shackles of social media. Aided by 45-year-old Kevin Toffler, a rogue tech billionaire, Aegis detonates a nuclear device over the heart of the tech world--the San Francisco Bay Area. This instantly turns back the clock two hundred years for the eight million people living there, leading to chaos and death. In the aftermath of the attack, an ambitious young Senate candidate, 40-year-old Wesley Williams, rescues his family from the horror as more attacks threaten parts of the United States. Meanwhile, the man behind the attack learns he has been a pawn in this global game in which China and the U.S. are going to be pushed into a global showdown. Only through an encounter with a mysterious stranger named Mac (who seems to have extraordinary powers of prescience) does he find a pathway to redeem himself and quite literally save the world.

Autor

Tim Knight has been fascinated by the use and effects of technology since his first published book, The World Connection, foresaw the importance of social media way back in 1982. He has since authored two dozen other books about computers, investing, and financial history. In 1992, he founded Prophet.net, which was selected by both Barron's and Forbes as the best technical analysis website on the web. Ameritrade later acquired the business, providing the service to its millions of customers. After selling his company, Knight created the Slope of Hope (slopeofhope.com), on which he has written almost 50,000 posts about culture, theology, politics, the financial markets, and the media. He has been a resident of Silicon Valley his entire adult life and lives in Palo Alto, California, with his family, multiple dogs, and thousands of well-behaved honeybees. Solid State is his first novel.
