The #1 New York Times bestselling author of ANATHEM, Neal Stephenson is continually rocking the literary world with his brazen and brilliant fictional creations --- whether he’s reimagining the past (The Baroque Cycle), inventing the future (SNOW CRASH), or both (CRYPTONOMICON). With REAMDE, this visionary author whose mind-stretching fiction has been enthusiastically compared to the work of Thomas Pynchon, Don DeLillo, Kurt Vonnegut, and David Foster Wallace --- not to mention William Gibson and Michael Crichton --- once again blazes new ground with a high-stakes thriller that will enthrall his loyal audience, science and science fiction, and espionage fiction fans equally. The breathtaking tale of a wealthy tech entrepreneur caught in the very real crossfire of his own online fantasy war game, REAMDE is a new high --- and a new world --- for the remarkable Neal Stephenson.
