Description Constantin Gillies - The Bug
The Bug is the long-awaited sequel to the cult novel Extraleben and once again a thrilling conspiracy crime story around the theme of retro computers. In The Bug, the two data rescuers Nick and Kee once again stumble upon a secret when they examine the 1982 laptop of a deceased computer pioneer. The adventure turns out to be a dangerous trap; the friends themselves are hunted...
c't writes: "In the course of the plot, which is reminiscent of a road movie, the two heroes, aged by two years since 'Extraleben', touch on pretty much everything that forms the sediment of the memory of today's admins, developers, and IT managers in their forties: the Commodore killer poke, the Land-of-Confusion video by Genesis, the Pentium calculation error. Intensive media consumers and computer nostalgists devour the book enthusiastically."
The Bug has 397 pages and is written in German.
