Victor Milan0.0 Deep in the fortress-like headquarters of Yoshimitsu TeleCommunications, American scientist Elizabeth O'Neill had molded the circuitry of a mammoth computer into a living, thinking, feeling being--a human soul trapped in the confines of a cybernetic body.
She named her creation Tokugawa, hero of Japanese samurai lore, and educated him with all of the values of a feudal Japanese shogun.
Yet Tokugawa's powers were far greater than Elizabeth had imagined. WIth access to every computer in post-World War III's fully-automated society, he had the potential to become the ultimate spy, the perfect assassin, an invincible dictator.
Only loyalty to samurai virtues kept his attention in check--until the day when Elizabeth was taken away from him, and Tokugawa began his quest for revenge...

Сирил Майкл Корнблат0.0 Политический роман об истории 22-го столетия, когда правительства мира разрушились под весом их собственных врожденных недостатков. Эту книгу считают одной из Библий Либертарианского движения. Вместо того, что имело обыкновение быть Соединенными Штатами Америки, создано вольное либеральное анархо-капиталистическое общество, известное как Синдик. Возникшие из поступков мафии прошлого, методы Синдика основаны на невмешательстве государства в свободное предпринимательство. Вместе с Чарльзом Орсино, молодым бандитом низшего эшелона, который перспективен для большой роли в будущем Синдика, мы следуем по пути через многие опасности, осваивая азы анархо-капиталистической политической философии. ozor
Роберт Антон Уилсон, Роберт Джозеф Ши4.7 It was a deadly mistake. Joseph Malik, editor of a radical magazine, had snooped into rumors about an ancient secret society that was still alive and kicking. Now his offices have been bombed, he's missing, and the case has landed in the lap of a tough, cynical, streetwise New York detective. Saul Goodman knows he's stumbled onto something big—but even he can't guess how far into the pinnacles of power this conspiracy of evil has penetrated.
Filled with sex and violence—in and out of time and space—the three books of The Illuminatus! Trilogy are only partly works of the imagination. They tackle all the cover-ups of our time—from who really shot the Kennedys to why there's a pyramid on a one-dollar bill—and suggest a mind-blowing truth.
