About this title

Synopsis:

We are not alone, and it’s our own damn fault ... Something demonic is stalking the brightest men and women in the computer industry. It attacks without warning or mercy, leaving its prey insane, comatose--or dead.
Something far nastier than any virus, worm, or Trojan horse program is being evolved in laboratory confinement by well-intentioned but misguided researchers. When their artificial life-form escapes onto the Internet, no conventional defense against malicious software can begin to compete. As disasters multiply, computer scientist Doug Carey knows that unconventional measures may be civilization’s last hope.
And that any artificial life-form learns very fast ....

From the Back Cover:

ADVANCE PRAISE FOR FOOLS' EXPERIMENTS

"FOOLS' EXPERIMENTS is science fiction at its dazzling best, and one hell of a technothriller."

-- Stephen Coonts New York Times best-selling author of THE ASSASSIN

"The age of spiritual machines is almost upon us, and Edward M. Lerner is our advance scout. He's already been where the rest of us will soon be heading and gives us fascinating, compelling, exciting glimpses of what lies ahead. A terrific book by a terrific author."

-- Robert J. Sawyer Hugo Award-winning author of ROLLBACK

"Edward Lerner brings a wonderfully intelligent, creative style to science fiction. His clever ideas and intriguing plots have given me many hours of enjoyable reading. His stories keep me thinking - and make it fun."

-- Catherine Asaro Nebula award-winning author of The Quantum Rose

"Must reading for anyone worried about computer viruses. They're primitive; in FOOLS' EXPERIMENTS, an expert imagines how deadly a thing might evolve from them -- and how fast!"

-- Stanley Schmidt Hugo- and Nebula-nominated author of ARGONAUT
