Review: Worm

By ANDREW KLAVAN

Even before the Internet became a household word, let alone a household tool, there were those who conceived of it as an actual place—an alternative reality of mystery, possibility and danger. Science-fiction novelist William Gibson dubbed computer networks “cyberspace” in a story written as far back in the dark ages as 1982. By 1984 he had penned the novel “Neuromancer,” in which characters used a brain-computer interface to travel through a virtual reality called “The Matrix.” And of course by 1999 the film “The Matrix” built on that metaphor to explore the notion of a complete computer alternative to reality where good guys and bad guys nonetheless battle to save the world.

Go here for my podcast with John Wilson about Andrew Klavan’s latest thriller, The Final Hour.
