About this book

William Gibson meets Tom Clancy in this brilliant and chilling cyberthriller set in the multimedia world of the near furture--where oil is running out, wars are smart, and intelligent software agents may be the only friends you can trust. In the year 2030--when the world has doubled in population and no one escape the prying eyes of the State--John Grant wants to save the Earth from its addiction to oil and get rich in the process. But the revoultionary new molecule he has patented--an astonishing advance that can split water and produce a virtually limitless supply of the cheap fuel hydrogen--has marked him as a traitor to his country. . .and as a target. Sufi mystic, genius mathematician and master terroist Hamid Tabriz wants Grant's patent and his mind. Now both goals are within Tabriz's reach, thanks to a chip he has perfected which enables him to place his own mind in another's head.An increasingly chatic world is racing toward annihilation. And John Grant will have to defend it--and himself--from a disembodied place far beyond the confines of space and time: in NANOTIME.
