"Along with the almost satirical rendering of the world, the lovely
writing, and engaging plot, the characters of George and Pandora are
brilliant." --Booklist
Pandora Lynch lives in Alaska with her single dad, an online therapist
for Silicon Valley's brightest and squirreliest. Homeschooled by
computer and a self-taught hacker, Pandora is about to enter high school
to learn how to be normal. That's the plan at least.
NorCal runaway George Jedson is a hacker too--one who leaves the systems
he attacks working better than before. After being scooped up by a
social media giant, will George go legit--or pull off the biggest hack
ever? Not even his therapist knows for sure, but maybe the
headshrinker's daughter...
After meeting in cyberspace, the two young hackers combine their
passions to conceive a brainchild named BUZZ. Can this baby AI learn to
behave, or will it be like its parents and think outside the box?
With a hilarious and deeply empathetic narrative voice, this elegiac and
unapologetically irreverent novel is both humorous and tragic without
ever taking itself too seriously.
