En 1972, Richard Forthrast, la oveja negra de un clan de Iowa, huyeron a las montanas de British Columbia para evitar una redada.

Al pasar los anos, Richard regreso a los Estados despues de que el gobierno americano concediera la amnistia a los desertores. El transformo su riqueza en un imperio y desarrollo un complejo remoto en el que podia vivir. Tambien creo T'Rain, un juego multimillonario para jugadores en masa, y para jugarlo en linea, con millones de fans alrededor del mundo. Pero el exito T'Rain tambien lo ha convertido en un objetivo. Los hackers han encontrado oro dando rienda suelta a REAMDE, un virus que encripta todos los archivos electronicos del jugador y las mantiene hasta pedir rescate. / In 1972, Richard Forthrast, the black sheep of an Iowa farming clan, fled to the mountains of British Columbia to avoid the draft. A skilled hunting guide, he eventually amassed a fortune by smuggling marijuana across the border between Canada and Idaho. As the years passed, Richard went straight and returned to the States after the U.S. government granted amnesty to draft dodgers. He parlayed his wealth into an empire and developed a remote resort in which he lives. He also created T'Rain, a multibillion-dollar, massively multiplayer online roleplaying game with millions of fans around the world. But T'Rain's success has also made it a target. Hackers have struck gold by unleashing REAMDE, a virus that encrypts all of a player's electronic files and holds them for ransom.

0.0 Reamde
After over 200 pages I was still not into it. He's trying to make what is happening much more interesting than it is and it's not working. Doesn't matter how you try to pimp it out to the reader the fact remains that there's someone holding data hostage for $73 and I could not care less.

4.0 "Reamde" by Neal Stephenson - Long, enjoyable read - "Snow Crash" all grown up
